The census is a population survey carried out every ten years in the UK.
The census shows that the UK's population changes all the time, partly due to migration.
People moving into the UK bring benefits to the country and change the nature of places.

Migration is a problem for the UK as we are already 'full'.

Without migrants, the UK's population would be shrinking and many important jobs would not be done. Migrants contribute to the UK's culture.
