Reposted by LeoCrusherJonathan Portes @jdportes.bsky.social · 6hThis is a dreadful argument from Burnham. Empirically false - almost 6m people were granted settled status; about 4m are currently resident. More importantly panders to racism/xenophobia, and directly contradicts argument made in his speech about migrant contributions. 95734
