Agreed in the last ten years the numbers have significantly increased but they were not

“minuscule” before. Post WWII Commonwealth migration was approximately 750,000 (1.5% of the population). EU migration between 2004 and 2016 was approximately 2 million (3% of the population). If you go back further in history to the migration of Eastern European Jews, the Irish Famine migration, etc. there have certainly been comparable mass migration events.
