Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s efforts to tackle illegal migration faced setbacks with these arrivals. During a media blitz, Starmer announced £75 million to fight people smuggling gangs. He also promised to treat smugglers like terrorists and boost intelligence sharing with countries like Kosovo and Serbia.

Critics argue the government should take stronger action against illegal crossings. Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party suggests adopting Australia’s ‘turn-back-the-boats’ policy as a solution. This approach successfully curbed illegal migration under former Australian PM Tony Abbott’s leadership.

TRAGIC Migrant DEATHS in English Channel Demand Urgent Action

05 September 2024 — A day after 12 migrants died in the English Channel, dozens more tried the dangerous crossing from France to Britain. French patrol boats watched as a crowded vessel struggled through the seas. This incident shows the big problem facing both French and U.K. governments.

The mayor of Wimereux, Jean-Luc Dubaële, called for urgent action from French and British officials to stop more tragedies. “Smugglers keep sending people to their deaths,” he said. "It’s high time that a lasting solution is found with Britain.

Cross-Channel migration was a key issue in the recent U.K. general election, which saw Keir Starmer become prime minister. A French prosecutor revealed that 10 of the 12 dead were women and six were minors, many appearing to be Eritrean. The boat sank about three miles off the French coast with many aboard lacking life vests.

Dubaële criticized the criminal networks smuggling people across the channel, labeling it “unacceptable” and “scandalous.” He emphasized that migrants are drawn to Britain rather than seeking asylum in France. He urged immediate discussions with Britain’s new government to find a lasting solution.

The issue of cross-Channel migration was pivotal in the recent U.K. general election, which saw Keir Starmer become prime minister after Labour’s victory. French maritime authorities confirmed an inflatable boat carrying 40 to 50 migrants was monitored by French patrols on Wednesday morning.

The overcrowded inflatable had people crammed side-by-side with some dangling their legs overboard. French patrol vessels were on standby to assist if needed, underscoring the ongoing risks and challenges of these perilous crossings.

Darmanin called for a migration treaty between the UK and EU to address illegal crossings and employment of migrants in poor conditions. He criticized Britain for not tackling its shadow economy that employs illegal migrants.

Former Conservative Home Secretary James Cleverly criticized Labour’s lack of action despite their promises to “smash the gangs.” New Home Secretary Yvette Cooper blamed traffickers for using unseaworthy boats and risking lives even in poor weather conditions.

The migrant crisis on Britain’s southern shore remains unresolved, contributing to the downfall of the previous British government. The new Labour government has promised action but has yet to deliver any meaningful results.

Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, criticized the new government for its inaction following the recent deaths in the Channel. He warned that he would hold them accountable just as he did with their predecessors.

People smugglers continue to exploit desperate migrants, leading to overcrowded and dangerous crossings. This year alone, 19 people have died attempting to cross the English Channel, while 14,000 have successfully made it across — a nearly 20% increase from last year.

ASYLUM-SEEKER Convicted: The Tragic Consequence of a Dangerous English Channel Crossing

19 February 2024 — On Monday, Ibrahima Bah, an asylum-seeker from Senegal, was convicted of manslaughter. He was at the helm of an inflatable dinghy that carried more than 40 migrants from France to the U.K. The vessel capsized tragically resulting in four fatalities.

The prosecutors maintained that the dinghy was unfit for such a journey due to severe overcrowding and lack of safety equipment. Despite the glaring risks and its deteriorating condition as it began taking on water, Bah persisted towards U.K. waters.

Bah did not pay for his passage because he piloted the boat himself. The jury found him guilty on four counts of manslaughter and aiding illegal entry into the U.K.

This incident has added more controversy to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s contentious plan to deport migrants to Rwanda amidst ongoing criticism.

SHOCKING Discovery: 47 ILLEGAL Migrants Unearthed in Dutch Truck Bound for UK

06 December 2023 — Late Tuesday night, Dutch military police stumbled upon a startling revelation. They discovered 47 illegal migrants, hailing from various countries, concealed within a truck destined for the United Kingdom. The incident took place in the port town of Hook of Holland following an alert by a specially trained dog.

The truck driver, a Dutch national, has been apprehended on suspicion of human trafficking. His clandestine passengers will be transferred to the custody of migration authorities in the Netherlands. This episode underscores the relentless struggle faced by authorities to curb illegal migration, particularly along the North Sea coast.

While large-scale interceptions like this are uncommon in the Netherlands, they spotlight an ongoing concern. Each year thousands worldwide journey to northern France with hopes of crossing into the UK via the English Channel; over 27,300 have already done so this year alone.

This figure represents a decline compared to last year when 46,000 individuals undertook that voyage. Despite these statistics and recent court rulings against deporting migrants back to Italy, it’s evident that Europe remains entangled in its immigration crisis.
