Non EU immigration - why so high?

[DimPrawn]

Since the EU immigrants have no barrier to entry here, why are the biggest sources of immigration from outside the EU?

And under the Tories, the numbers are increasing rapidly.

Why do the LibLabCon love immigration into a one of the densely populated countries in Europe so much? Why do they simply duck the issue?

Answers on a CUK postcard please.

Because it's fantastic for land prices and by proxy the UK economy which is to a large extent a pyramid scheme dependant upon said land price appreciation.
