Uncontrolled mass immigration had been a deliberate, covert policy to change the country’s demographics, according to the Sunday Times.
Labour's “open door” immigration policy knowingly risked allowing dangerous people to settle in Britain unchecked.
This is revealed by documents of the Home Office, seen by The Sunday Times, which also mention Bulgarian organized criminal groups.
“The Whitehall correspondence, which was illegally withheld by the Home Office for four years, shows how ministers were told by the country’s most senior immigration official that his staff were to be “encouraged to take risks” when granting visas, work permits and extended residency to hundreds of thousands of new migrants, the Sunday Times reported.
The documents help to explain the huge rise in the flow of migrants into Britain as the Home Office rushed to clear a backlog of 45,000 cases.
Officials agreed to fast-track 337,000 applications with minimal checks. This led to a rapid rise in immigration. In 1999, 170,000 visas were granted; by 2002, this had risen to 300,000.
As officials were being ordered to take risks, several potentially dangerous people entered the UK. In late 2001, more than 20 Taliban, who had fled from Afghanistan after their defeat by American and British forces, were allowed to stay in the UK.
A key figure in the scandal was Sir Bill Jeffrey, who was the director-general of the Immigration and Nationality Directorate, Britain’s most senior immigration official. He is now at the centre of controversy as the senior civil servant in charge of the Ministry of Defence.
The other key figure was Beverley Hughes, then minister of state for citizenship and immigration. She was later forced to resign after it emerged she had misled MPs about whether she had been warned that Romanian and Bulgarian crime gangs might want to exploit the UK’s decision to open its borders to those seeking work from eastern Europe.
The newspaper cites an article from two weeks ago where Andrew Neather, a former speechwriter for Tony Blair, wrote that Labour had allowed immigration to rocket in order to turn Britain “truly multicultural” and “to rub the right’s noses in diversity”.
The heart of his claim was that uncontrolled mass immigration had been a deliberate, covert policy to change the country’s demographics, the Sunday Times comments.
But Labour’s core vote, the white working class, were drawn to the BNP at the resulting pressure on jobs, homes and schools, it adds.

The left wing is the same all over. When will we wake up?
Supposedly it was just enlightened governments making way for willin' workers and all that BS.
Those of us who said it was a deliberate plan to make the racial majority in the U.S. and Europe were shouted down and hooted at. Right here on the pages of FR!
Tell us now it's all just a conspiracy theory, geniuses.
Those of us who said it was a deliberate plan to make the racial majority into a minority in the U.S. and Europe were shouted down
These people are so power hungry they will do anything, including ruin their country, to keep it. They are the scum of the Earth.
Is there anyone in this world that isn’t sick?
This is treason and they should be punished as such.
“to rub the right’s noses in diversity”.
Translation: to make the leftists never fear losing an election again.
I'm old enough to remember learning about "Treason" in school.
"Treason" used to be a crime.
I'm trying to pinpoint when virtually all crime became "acceptable" to one degree or another. It has happened in my lifetime.
I also remember saying "The Pledge of Allegiance" in the classroom.
Those really were the 'good old days'.
I know this posting is about Great Britain and their "immigration" issues. But the same can be said about America.
Why did America open its doors wide open to people who loathe America?
AND WHY ARE THEY STILL HERE?
*****
Yep!You are correct....
But, on the bright side, it certainly made it a lot easier to identify many of the scumbag trolls (infiltraitors) on FR.
Yup.
“to rub the right’s noses in diversity”.
No, this was to move the crime rates higher, giving the MP’s justifiable reasons to further restrict the British subjects. The higher crime rates brought about the emplacement of all those cameras in London and elsewhere.
