The right wing wants to import cheap labour. That's why they fell out with Europe when European Labour started pushing up the cost of British labour.
non-British long-term immigration in 2010 when the right wing party took over was 498k a year. By 2023, their last full year of power, it was 1291k a year.
Since then its dropped back to 703k, lower than the value when the Lib Dems were booted out of office and the government went full Tory.
