Sir Edward Leigh says he doubts the ex-RAF base will be home to 2,000 asylum seekers by Christmas.
Sir Edward, the Consevrative MP for Gainsborough, said: "I don't think it's realistic at all.
"They themselves admit there will only be about 50 migrants arriving in the first tranche, and I very much doubt if they can get up to 2,000 migrants quickly, if at all."
