Immigration soared by 20% last year - making a mockery of Government pledge to bring it DOWN

Daily Mail
"The number of people migrating to the UK soared by more than 20 per cent last year, according to official figures released today. The rise from 198,000 in 2009 to 239,000 last year flys in the face of the Government's pledge to bring net migration down to just tens of thousands by 2015.Net migration is the difference of those arriving and leaving the country in 12-month period. Sir Andrew Green, chairman of the campaign group Migration Watch UK, said: 'These figures lay bare the legacy of the Labour government."
