The British government has admitted that it has no idea whether over 150,000 legal migrants who entered the country on social care visas are still in the UK or not.
A significant cohort of the so-called “Boriswave” of migrants that flooded the country following post-Brexit immigration reforms under former Prime Minister Boris Johnson is entirely unaccounted for, as the government failed to record data on whether they left the country, switched work visas, or are remaining in the country illegally.
Under Johnson’s 2022 immigration liberalisation — which led to historic levels of migration despite him having promised to lower immigration — the government added care staff to the “skilled worker” route, leading to 154,402 five-year visas being issued since then.
However, many such migrants likely entered as family members of social care workers until chain migration was banned for the category the following year, after which the number of visas fell tenfold, falling from 107,772 in 2023 to just 9,539 in 2024, The Telegraph reported. The social care immigration route was ultimately scrapped earlier this year. more
Are they still cashing their inevitable welfare checks?
Stop sending those and I bet the UKs will find them easily by homing in on all the whinging.
British Government “Helped Hide” over 150,000 Migrants.
How in the name of King Upchuck can the Brits lose 150,000 migrants? Oh wait, never mind they’ve lost their bloody minds since the end of World War 2 with Churchill as Prime Minister.
Its all by a globalist design, on purpose. The brits better find a Trump double quick.. It isn’t guaranteed that we will bail em’out before its too late.
150,000!? Pfft! Amateurs.
Saw where the UK government is returning inflatable boats used by ‘migrants’ to France for reuse.
That seems strange.
I bet they have not lost track of people who have made unapproved social media posts. With all the attention the government gives to them, no wonder they can’t find the migrants.
not looking in luxury hotels/motels or mosques?
This is why the term “Accidentally On Purpose” came about. Loose a few, OK. Lose 150 thousand and it’s deliberate!
