In the past few years only between 20.000 and 23.000 of the quota numbers have been utilized. so that the unused portion of the British quota ranges between 44.000 and 46.000 a year. The Irish quota. which is 17.800. has not been utilized within recent years. The average Irish immigration has been between 5.000 and 7.000 a year. and therefore their unused quota ranges between 10.000 and 12.000. Consequently. these two countries alone have unused quotas aggregating in number from 54.000 to 58.000. The unused quotas are then canceled. There is not a great migration from these countries. particularly not to areas which do not fly the British flag. At the same time. the pressure is enormous in Germany. where there are from 7.000.000 to 9.000.000 ethnic Germans who have been driven out of Communistcontrolled countries. many of whom want to emigrate. but cannot even get in on the German quota because they were born outside Germany. They are thrown back on the quotas of the Baltic states. which are from only 100 to 400 for each of the countries. upon the quota for Czechoslovakia. which is down to a few thousand. upon the quota for Poland. which aggregates about 6.000. and so on. So there are from 7.000.000 to 9.000.000 ethnic Germans who are trapped and who cannot get overseas.
