Exactly right, the goal is to provide the current regime with the power to imprison dissidents, so that there may be less of them.

The thing that's eluded me is how the current regime can be. The only plausible explanation to how they think and behave is simply that they really want the English to be, in England, the same as the aborigines in Australia, minus the welfare. That's the only logical outcome of their attitude, so we must presume that's their goal.

What's not clear is what does the ruling class get out of this? Most of them are English themselves, and they can't believe their descendants will retain power in such a demographic situation (they can observe the lot of minorities in the homelands of the people who are immigrating).

So what do they get out of it? It's so surreal and bizarre. Like a slow motion group suicide.
