FACTS
Between 1997 and 2010 just over 3 million migrants came to the UK while one million British citizens emigrated.
England along with Holland is now the most crowded country in Europe. Excluding small islands and city states we are the sixth most crowded country in the World.
According to official projections, immigration at current levels will add about 7 million to the population of England by 2027 - equivalent to 7 cities the size of Birmingham. Just over two thirds of this increase will be due to immigration.
According to the government's household projections, a new home for immigrants will need to be built every seven minutes for the next 20 years or so.
Since 2000 only 20% of net migration has come from the European Union - the rest has originated from countries outside the EU.
