Whoops! British Government ‘Lost Track' of over 150,000 Migrants | |
2025-08-12 | |
A significant cohort of the so-called "Boriswave" of ![]() 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, we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by... many such According to the broadsheet, the government’s care minister, Stephen Kinnock, told parliament that his department "does not hold data that directly links visa status to ongoing employment in adult social care or residence in the United Kingdom over time." "As such, it is not possible to estimate the number or proportion of individuals who entered the UK on a social care work visa and who are still in the UK or working in the social care sector," the Labour MP admitted. Kinnock said that some may have returned to their home countries, while others may have switched their visas for another migration category. Yet, given the lack of data, it is also possible that many simply remained illegally in the country as visa overstayers. | |
