‘Pray for us’: Mothers and Toddlers Among Thousands Waiting to Cross Channel
2nd June 2025

The Arab women were among thousands of migrants brought to the shoreline by smugglers on Saturday morning from the makeshift camps of Loon Plage, also known as the “jungle” of northern France. About 18 boats then crossed to the UK, carrying nearly 1,200 people — the most migrants recorded in a single day this year.
The mothers — like hundreds of others at the beach — did not board but said that they would try again next week. The French maritime prefecture said it had rescued another 184 migrants at sea on the same day and returned them to France.

This is what uncontrolled immigration looks like. This is what Democrats want to inflict on the U.S.
