I think Christys' flaw here is assuming that the Home Office has the preservation of the British people as any part of it's overall objectives. We're pretty difficult to lord over, after all, with our civil liberties and our rights.
It would be much, much simpler for the government, over all, if we just all died out and were replaced with a more tractable population.
It's a divide a conquer strategy, which they've successfully employed in neoliberal market economies to undermine the middle class, erode worker rights, lower birth rates and deconstruct families.
But mass-immigration has also been used for electoral gains (immigrants most likely end up voting for Labour) and intelligence efforts (playing host to dissidents to undermine foreign governments, cultivating assets, mapping terrorist groups, recruiting native speakers, e.g. the father of the akbar who blew himself up at the Ariana Grande concert was a Libyan Islamist exile who later joined an Al Qaeda affiliate.)

British people have rights?
To be taxed, mostly...
