UK Officials Predict Thousands More Migrants Will Make Illegal Channel Crossings This Year
8th February 2023
The number of migrants entering Britain via the Channel will increase by more than a third this year, according to UK officials, despite the Conservative Party government promising to clamp down on illegal crossings.
A record 45,756 migrants came to the UK in small boats last year, up from 28,526 in 2021 and 8,466 in 2020. The figure has risen year-on-year since at least 2018 when just 299 migrants made the dangerous crossing. The Tory manifesto of 2019—and others both before and after it—promised to “fix our immigration system.” Conservative officials have also spent much time and filled a great deal of column space announcing “radical” plans to tackle the issue. But officials believe 65,000 migrants will risk the journey this year.
The only way to ‘fix’ this situation is to SEND THEM BACK. The reason they are so eager to come is that they know that they WILL NOT BE SENT BACK. If someone is caught stealing but is allowed to keep what he stole, HE WILL CONTINUE TO STEAL.
