  Migration is inevitable and has been going on for all of human history & will go on as long as humans are on this planet. If you thing things are bad now wait till the water wars start all across Northern Africa...
  
  Migration of itself is neither "good" nor "bad"; it is also very hard to "control".
  
  It is worth pointing out that "good" or "bad" are invariably a matter of perspective, what might be good for settled residents may well prove bad for migrants & visa-versa.
  
  The capacity for inward migration is driven by a large number of variables including but not limited to housing availability, labour shortages, spare capacity within public services (which might well be positively flexed by some of those migrants), skills shortages etc. as well as the capacity of local culture to accommodate incomers.
  
  As a wise man said "no-one likes change, but most grow to live with it".
  
  The UK lacks any clear coherent strategy on migration, no idea of capacity, little in the way of process for integrating migrants into the prevailing workforce & culture, lack of adequate processing capacity for claims for asylum &/or residency (unless they are rich then of course their golden visa gets couriered to them), significant gaps in schemes to prove equivalence of foreign qualifications & experience etc etc ad nauseum.
