London, July 14(ANI): A major poll has found that almost half of all Brits consider the record 1,650 immigrants settling in every day are wrecking the quality of life in UK.

The YouGov poll, commissioned by Optimum Population Trust, also found that two-thirds of the 2,000 people demanded a limit imposed to stem the flow of immigrants to stop population explosion, The Daily Star reports.

Further, the poll revealed that almost 74 per cent blamed Britain's open-door policies for clogged roads and crowded trains and buses.

Migrants were also blamed for the lack of affordable housing and were regarded as a strain on public services like school and hospitals.

"The poll demonstrates public unhappiness at the pressure on public services," Shadow Immigration Minister Damian Green said.

"It shows why we badly need an annual limit on immigration," he added.Meanwhile, Immigration Minister Phil Woolas has said that UK's new points-based system would ensure that only the people Britain needs would be allowed to work and study. (ANI)
