In the seaside town of Skegness in England, the slogan 'Take Back Control' from the Brexit movement was seen as a call to regain control of immigration policies post-Brexit. However, in the years following Brexit, the UK's population has grown at its fastest rate since the 1960s, making immigration a key issue in the upcoming UK election. Contrary to common belief, the record rise in immigration numbers is mainly due to legal immigrants like Kiki Ekweigh from Nigeria, who contributes to sectors facing labor shortages like healthcare. Despite the shocking co-occurrence of Brexit and increased immigration, the departure of EU citizens from the UK has been replaced by migrants from countries like India and Nigeria. The issue of illegal immigration, particularly through dangerous routes, remains a focus in UK politics, with different parties proposing various solutions. Ultimately, the driving force behind immigration in the UK is not just about free movement but also the country's economic needs, prompting difficult policy decisions and ongoing discussions.
