Nine out of 10 immigrants live in England
England takes more than nine out of 10 immigrants who come to the UK, figures published today reveal.
Since 1991 more than 2,300,000 foreigners have moved to this country. But of the four home nations, England absorbed the vast majority, taking 2,149,000, or 92%.
That is nearly 20 times as many as Scotland, despite the population of England being only 10 times larger.

Predictions of future numbers estimate England will account for 95% of the expected population increase across the UK by 2051, including seven million immigrants.
MPs Nicholas Soames and Frank Field, who uncovered the figures, accused ministers of "inaction". The chairmen of the cross-party Balanced Migration Group said: "This research shows that immigration is overwhelmingly an issue for England rather than other parts of the UK.
"The political establishment is in denial on immigration - even though it is of concern to nearly 80% of the population."
The figures were released in a parliamentary written answer from National Statistician Karen Dunnell.

People wonder why the BNP has more followers and success in England. Could it be the majority of the problems faced, which the BNP commit to tackling, is faced by English people.
These figures confirm the current crisis we as a nation face.
