Of course taking the time series back much longer shows we had net emigration for years.
A reason why any policy to deport more immigrants risks huge pressures if countries with Brits then retaliate and send them all back.
How far back do we go?
In the USA there is an argument to send anyone who is not First Nation home. Maybe not serious but to point out that those in power are fairly recent immigrants.
