Why have the Tories failed so badly on illegal immigration?

On the 4th of August, Barry appeared on the Lee Anderson show to discuss immigration and shoplifting.

“The number of asylum seekers in 2010 was 22,000. Last year, it was 89,000. You've had 13 years to sort this problem out”, Barry argued, “why have you failed so badly?”.

The same goes for shoplifiting. Under the Conservatives “the figures went up to 382,000. That's about 80 to 100,000, more than it was under Labour”. This is why Labour have pledged to put 13,000 more police on the streets to keep Britain safe.
