Nothing so complex needed.

Tony Blair literally said that he wanted more immigration because he thought they would all be grateful and vote for him. https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/648008/Tony-Blair-Labour-immigration-asylum-seekers-UK-Brexit-EU-referendum

And to piss of the Tory voters. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1249797/Labour-threw-open-doors-mass-migration-secret-plot-make-multicultural-UK.html

So pure party politics and power grabbing.

A very simplistic "explanation". WHY did Tony Blair say that? Oh wait, you think politicians are stupid and don't know what they're doing.

NEWS FLASH: they know perfectly well what they are doing. All the time. They have power and nearly unlimited resources. Don't you think they have focus groups to study probable population reactions to ANYTHING? OF COURSE THEY DO.

No, it's all organized from the top, and by "top" I don't mean "elected" politicians. I mean their boss' boss.
