Immigration is a central theme in British politics with the Conservative government taking a hard line against people seeking to stay in the country.
The opposition Labour Party says it too wants to reduce the number of arrivals, but with different plans.
Yet, despite the negative political climate, net migration in 2022 stood at more than 600,000 people, a record level.
Why is there such political opposition to immigration in Britain?
