This is the best summary I could come up with:
High levels of immigration have failed to enhance the economy and have worsened the housing crisis in the UK, according to a new report from the Centre for Policy Studies (CPS).
It argues that about 89% of the 1.34 million rise in England's housing deficit over the last decade has been due to net migration.
The report calls on the Government to implement limits on legal immigration to alleviate excessive pressure on British infrastructure and public services.
"The changes we propose today would finally return numbers to the historical norm and deliver the highly-selective, highly-skilled immigration system voters were promised,"Â Mr Jenrick said.
However, other European countries, including Germany, take a different line, according to a recent study by the Institute for Employment Research (IAB) in Nuremberg.
IAB reported that 90% of workers in this group paid social security contributions, and the median gross hourly wage for arrivals in 2015 was €13.70, despite any difficulties that might arise at the beginning.
