The UK Independence Party will hold its spring conference on Friday, with leader Nigel Farage looking to galvanise support ahead of May's European Parliament elections.
The anti-European Union party is hoping to win the most seats in the contest, building on its strong poll ratings and success in last year's local elections.
In his speech, Mr Farage will say UKIP is the "biggest threat to the political establishment" in modern times.
The conference takes place in Torquay.
UKIP calls for the UK to take back control of its borders by leaving the EU.
Mr Farage will say immigration has "now become the number one issue in British politics", adding: "Eighty per cent of the British people did not want borders to come down with Romania and Bulgaria, but they did.
'Female takeover'"We have lost control and we want to take it back. In fact we've sunk so low as a nation, that we now cannot even deport foreign criminals without the say-so of a foreign court."
The conference follows a surge in the number of seats held by UKIP in last year's local elections in England.
During his speech, Mr Farage will say the party "now poses the biggest threat to the political establishment that has been seen in modern times".
He will add: "Any eccentric comment made by any UKIP [member] immediately becomes a huge national scandal. Well, they can say what they like; we represent a broadly based body of public opinion in this country that recognises the extent to which our political class have betrayed us."
The party says it will be contesting more than 2,500 council seats at local elections in May.
Mr Farage says UKIP "has changed" since 2010, adding: "The most significant change is the rise of women in the party. There are women candidates at number one and number two on the [European elections] lists.
"Some even talk about a female takeover of UKIP. The point here that distinguishes us is that we have not used positive discrimination, we have not used all-female shortlists, our women have achieve these positions on the European elections lists through merit, which is the example of the kind of society we want to live in."
