Given these shocking statistics on immigration it's no wonder the pundits now believe the final outcome of the vote will hinge on how people view this situation. Here are some figures:
Between 2001 and 2014, 3.3 m migrants came to the UK
Our population rose by 491,000 from 2013 to 2014 — one of the fastest rates of any industrial country
Official projections suggest the UK population (now 65m) will exceed 70m in 11 years, hit 77m by 2050 and pass 80m by 2060
The cost of immigration between 1995 and 2011, according to a study, was up to £114bn
Births in the UK rose from 668,777 in 2002 to 778,805 in 2013. Of these, births to immigrant mothers almost doubled from 110,484 to 196,806
Women born abroad contributed 27% of all live births in England and Wales in 2014, and 33% of babies had at least one immigrant parent
126,000 children of school age have come to the UK from the European Economic Area since 2004
Labour said 13,000 Eastern Europeans a year would come here. Yet 53,000 entered in the first year and 76,000 the next (both figures thought to be big underestimates)
