The overall net numbers are intentional. If they wanted to decrease them they could do so by dealing with the backlog of claims and providing safe routes. But

  If you want to define right wing rule as only "talking about doing right wing things" then ok. I define it as doing them and achieving them, which would amount to actually stopping immigration and starting deportations to equal net negative immigration. So as to your point exactly, the net positive numbers are intentional, or are not stoppable for whatever inconsequential right wing elements exist as they don't have the power to achieve right wing outcomes. The sum-total of political power when you mix all factions together, and judge things by results of what is happening, not only what is said, then constant positive net foreign migration and an overall consensus of this continuing doesn't support right wing government rule. >do so by dealing with the backlog, providing safe routes. If you mean safe route back to their country of origin, that is certainly a possible option that a right wing government might pursue. Since that isn't happening, there isn't a true right wing government in power and hasn't been for some time (have to include the courts here too). There are factions that maybe talk a good game, and don't move the needle on policy or even consensus rhetoric. That's not a point in favor of right wing politics being in power.
