They are here legally
318,000 is the net figure for people that migrated to Britain during the year 2014. These people came to Britain legally to live and work in Britain. This is nothing to do with illegal migrants. The net migration figure does not include any people that are here illegally. For this reason, cracking down on people that are working illegally will make no difference to the net migration figures.
