immigration into the United Kingdom is way higher and alarming, with a difference of 300, 000
between the immigrants and emigrants since 2014.Among the 9.4 million immigrants in the
United Kingdom, 3.7 million are from countries in the European Union (EU), including Italy,
Poland, Romania, and Spain. At the same time, 5.7 million are from non-EU nations, making 14
percent of the United Kingdom’s population. Debates have been raised between proponents and
opponents of immigration, with the public views on the matter widely dismissed.Immigrants are
perceived with suspicion with links to terrorism, job security, and political threats. However,

time as the locals learn that they can have productive exchange with the immigrants. At the same time,
in schools, the perceptions move to a definite notch rapidly, hence improving diversity, interaction and
