Immigration is "right at the top" of the concerns of people in Northern Ireland, according to UKIP.
Speaking at Stormont during a manifesto launch for the general election David McNarry said it was a much bigger issue than Europe.
The party is fielding 10 candidates in the general election.
Mr McNarry, the party's leader in Northern Ireland, said people had concerns about housing, health and schools but mainly immigration.
"Immigration is a bigger issue here in Northern Ireland than people would think and people are really concerned about immigration; concerned about the influx of people coming in here taking up room in schools, adding to hospital waiting lists etc so there's a big understanding exercise has got to be done as well," he said.
