Again and again migrants try to cross from France to Great Britain. Some make it too. London wants to take action against it.
According to official figures, at least 430 migrants crossed the English Channel from France to Great Britain on Monday. Around 50 people arrived in the Kent border region on a single rubber dinghy, the BBC reported.
According to the Interior Ministry, this is a new high. Previously, the record was 416 people who crossed the canal on one day in early September 2020.
Especially when the weather is good, migrants from France, where they often come from refugee camps, make the dangerous crossing. Many use the services of smugglers. According to official information, almost 8,000 people will have reached Great Britain via the channel this year.
The British government wants to act with all its might against the crossings and calls on France again and again to take stronger action against it. According to the BBC, the Interior Ministry once again said that “decisive steps will be taken to tackle the problem of illegal migration”. Interior Minister Priti Patel had previously announced that in the long term, asylum seekers who entered the country via illegal routes would be given fewer rights than others. Regaining control over one’s own borders is a key promise of Brexit.
