Are migrants invading Britain?

Migrants seem to be invading Britain, with official statistics revealing more than 518,000 people moved to the country last year -- an average of more than 1,400 every day.

The annual number of people granted British citizenship also rose by almost 60 per cent between 2008 and 2009, according to the figures.

Prominent British politician Nigel Farage quoted the figures as he attacked the three main parties for their 'dishonest' attitudes towards immigration, the Daily Star newspaper reported.

"It is not racist to talk about immigration from a non-racial and non-sectarian perspective.

"But the figures quoted refer to non-European Union immigration and the main parties are all signed up. We have a total open-door policy to an unlimited number of people coming to this country from eastern Europe," he said.
