In some of Britain’s key cities—including London, Manchester, and Oxford—over half of the children are now born to mothers who themselves were born overseas, according to a report by Migration Watch.

The self-styled immigration watchdog says that an analysis of official data shows that over the last half century, the proportion of children born to non-UK-born mothers has more than doubled.
