average annual gross earnings of a migrant
In the case of families with children, those born in the EU were wealthier than those born in the rest of the world. Britain has accepted more than half a million immigrants a year â people from abroad who come to live in this country for more than 12 months â over recent years. Around 300,000 a year come from outside the EU and they fall into the category where Coalition ministers are most anxious to curb immigration.
