This has been known about for a while. Every minute in the UK there are 85 Births, 66 Deaths and 23 Immigrants which leads to an average yearly growth of 0.6%. This is from figures in October 2011 and at one point, were far higher.
23 immigrants a minute, that's 33,120 a day! Every day, including today, for years on end. So this month that will be one million people and approximately 12,096,804 a year. Over 12 million a year on a population that used to be around 55 million. At this rate, we might end up sinking like Atlantis.
If we didnt have immigrants, or even just stuck to the migration policy we have in place, like other countries like the US, which means that migrants only come in on temporary visa's or skill set visa's, then there would be plenty of jobs to go around.
However the mainstream parties would love you to believe it is racist. Unfortunately we live in a country where anyone wanting to put citizens interests before foreigners is called a racist. The bleeding heart liberals will continue to take anyone who finds the UK more attractive than their homeland at the cost of our own interests.

That´s an old socialist argument that´s based on the mistaken thinking that an economy is like a cake that needs to be divided up so everyone gets a slice. An economy is not a cake; it can expand to accomodate new people, it can even expand beyond the capacity of a workforce to service it; that's what happens when an economy 'overheats'.
Secondly, if the US policy is so good, why does the US have unemployment?
And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014
