Immigration, while far less salient than it was in 2016, is becoming a key political and policy issue again, partly due to Farage’s effort to shift the debate on a terrain more congenial to him.
This report not only analyses what has changed in terms of both outcomes and public opinion but considers how a future government might respond to the issue of migration, and the kinds of trade-offs they will have to address.
The report shows the next government faces a number of challenges as the large post-Covid spike in arrivals has pushed immigration to the top of the political agenda again.
The report, which brings together academics and migration experts from British Future, the Institute for Government, the Migration Observatory, the Social Market Foundation among others, provides a comprehensive review of changes in policy, outcomes, and public opinion that have reshaped the landscape.
Michaela Benson and Nando Sigona contribute with a piece on humanitarian visas and asylum in the UK drawing on their MIGZEN research.
