millions of Ukranians.

The Ukip leader claimed Brussels is currently thrashing out a deal with Turkey - which has a population of 77million - which would give ALL Turks the option of living in Britain.

Under the agreement, Turkey would be given free access to Europe, technically allowing its 77 million citizens to eventually come to the UK. 

He warned that once here, even for holidays, migrants could “disappear” in the system and eventually claim their rights to work and live here.

Mr Farage explained that even though visa free access will apply only to the Schengen zone, which Britain is not included in, migrants could still abuse the system by applying for German residency and being granted an EU passport.

Speaking during the launch of the Ukip film ’The True Migrant Crisis’, he said: “The EU is negotiating visa free access for all Turks, all 77million. 

It is also proposing visa free travel with Ukraine and the real problem is that in theory, free travel means you can come to Europe for 90 days. 

But the reality is that a lot of people will disappear or when they get to Germany claim their rights of family reunion. 

The real problem isn’t people trying to get to Britain illegally, the real problem is that in a few short years all of the people that came will have German passports, Dutch or Belgium passports. 

And as you know an EU passport means unqualified travel to the UK.”

Boris Johnson also warned about the prospect yesterday.

He said: "I am very pro-Turkish but what I certainly can't imagine is a situation in which 77million of my fellow Turks and those of Turkish origin can come here without any checks at all. That is mad - that won't work."

It comes after Express.co.uk exclusively revealed Turkish police are taking bribes of just £8 to allow refugees access to Europe despite it’s Government raking in £2.5billion to stop the migrants.

One wonders why any Brits are voting to stay!!!!

 Not a single voter from the EU's 28 member states - which have a total population of 508 million - has yet to vote in favour of Turkish membership.

But MEPs voted 375 – 133 to back the initiative by President of Cyprus Nicos Anastasiades, who asked the Dutch EU Presidency to add Turkish to the bloc’s 24 official languages in order to boost attempts to reach a reunification agreement on the Mediterranean island.

The move, expected to add £25m to the EU's annual budget, has infuriated critics who last night said it was further proof that Turkey’s accession to the EU was “all but guaranteed”.

They said that, although the European Commission would have to ratify the decision, earlier indicators were that dual pressures of Cyprus and Turkish accession would ensure it would be approved.

They warned that Turkey’s large population, which grew from 50 million in 1985 to 77 million in 2015 and is projected to overtake Germany’s by 2018, would give it more MEPs than the UK, making it the second biggest voting power under the EU’s Qualified Majority Voting system.

This should further water down the UK’s influence. 

Turkey’s per capita GDP is also less than one quarter of the UK’s, and on a par with Romania and Bulgaria, fuelling concerns of mass economic migration to Britain.

Last month the European Union signed a groundbreaking deal with Turkey aimed at combating the tide of refugees making their way into Europe.

As part of the agreement any “new irregular migrants” who arrived in Greece after that date would be sent back to Turkey. In return EU member states would accept one Syrian refugee from Turkey for every one sent back.

Turkey was rewarded with a £5bn bonanza from Brussels and assurances that Turkish passport holders would enjoy visa-free access to Europe later this year.

This is proof that Turkey becoming an EU member state is all but a done deal,” said Ukip migration spokesman Steven Woolfe.

If we remain in the EU, we will before long be in political union with Turkey – a country which has vast deficiencies in the rule of law and freedom of the press.”

Ukip leader Nigel Farage has also said a vote for remaining in the EU is "a vote for Turkey, for massively increased migration to Britain."
