>Net immigration at 330,000 is completely unsustainable -if Merkel had recognised the unique problem the UK has and allowed immigration controls Brexit wouldn't have happened.
Germany has both an higher immigration rate and more non-natives as a percentage of the population than the UK - around 3.5 million more or 1.7%. Only the USA has more immigrants than Germany - and Russia and Saudi Arabia are also above the UK.

Half of that 330,000 was non-EU anyway and we could have stopped it at any time. One of the underlying reasons that immigration was so high was the need for ~250,000 additional jobs each year just to cover the extra pensions.
