British Passports To Be given To A Record 220,000 Migrants This Year [UK Seeks Third World Status!]

British passports to be given to a record 220,000 migrants this year

By JAMES SLACK 21st June 2009

The number of British passports given to migrants is set to hit a record 220,000 this year.

In the first three months of 2009, 54,615 citizenship applications were approved - up 57 per cent on the same period in 2008.

At that rate, the number receiving passports - and with them the right to full benefits - this year will smash the record of 164,540 set in 2007.

British citizenship has rocketed by almost 500 per cent under the Labour Government (file picture of a woman outside a Home Office building in Croydon)

Last year the total was 129,310, and when Labour came to power in 1997, just 37,010 people were given citizenship.

It means approvals have rocketed by almost 500 per cent under the current Government.

Officials blame the massive increase on the fact that ministers are introducing a 'tough' new system of earned citizenship next year.

They say migrants are rushing to obtain their passports before they have to undergo an extra probationary period.

Under the new system, obtaining a passport will take six to eight years from a migrant's arrival in most cases, rather than the current five.

Critics said the rush shows just how lax the current system is. They also point out that, by handing out so many passports, the Government is changing the make-up of Britain without any public debate.

Immigration minister Phil Woolas (L) says extending earned citizenship from five to eight years will save taxpayers £2billion while shadow immigration minister Chris Grayling branded Labour incompetent at managing the flow of migrants

Shadow home secretary Chris Grayling said: 'This is yet another example of the Government's incompetence in managing our immigration system.

The beast had it coming when he allowed the parasites to move in. The American eagle is also happily flying around infected by parasites.

I wonder what the process is in the UK. They can’t have people crossing the border like we do - Do they have an illegal problem or are they actively bringing people in...?

They’ve lost the demographics war. Moslem men have several wives and as many children as they can father. Most are on public assistance. Meanwhile, white people have bought into the “overpopulation” game and have very few children, many abortions, and seldom stay married.

In just 10 to 15 years Moslems will have complete political control of the country. It is pretty much the same across Europe. The Leftist Greenies have all but destroyed Western civilization.

Islamic state within 30 years. Unstoppable. Visit London now, take the kids, take plenty of pix and video. When your kids and grandkids grow up that Britain will no longer exist.

You nailed it! Pat Buchanan’s Book “Death of The West” is a hauntingly chilly reminder of this now irreversible trend- all brought upon us by our treasonous elected representatives. And, I speak as a Catholic South Asian who is fed up of all these migrants who are unwilling to assimilate and indeed by virtue of religion, ritual, and custom these new migrants are unassimilatable. It’s happening in the US per the H1B visas. Some parts of Los Angeles have already been ceded to Third World migrants with cities hosting Little India, Little Ethiopia, Little Kabul, Little Saigon, Koreatown, Little Tokyo, and a host of Chinatowns. When is enough enough?

The so called “Conservatives” over there are no better in regards to immigration:

“I found myself thinking that it is mainstream Britain which needs to integrate more with the British Asian (Muslim) way of life, not the other way around.” - David Cameron
