"Mr Green said that while the latest figures show a 9% decline in immigration, other trends were worrying.
He said that the lower figures were to be welcomed, but added: "What is significant is that grants of settlement, the right to remain in this country, and grants of British citizenship have gone up hugely to record levels.
"So it shows the long-term effect of the fact that the immigration system was out of control for so long under the previous government."
"You would expect immigration to fall during a recession but what's happened is that the long-term population growth of this country is still going up very fast," Mr Green added."
I can't actually find if this is a 9% drop in yearly immigration.
Though yearly IMMIGRATION has been above 1/2 MILLION from 2004 - present
http://www.statistics.gov.uk/pdfdir/mig0510.pdfIf it is, this means thatt 1/2 MILLION IMMIGRANTS have been arriving here each year. But for how long? SIX YEARS (2OO4 - PRESENT.)
Add them on top of near yearly 1/4 million arrivals for the first part of last ten years, and the how many millions of unrecorded illegal Immigrants.
The figures say around a total of 20 million (+/- a few million) mainly young male (fighting age) Mohammedans.
These figures are only going off those which the ONS have received from unaccurate official figures.
