Dozens more migrants have arrived in Dover as the number to cross the Channel since Labour came to power approaches 50,000.
While the Ramsgate lifeboat stopped another group of migrants in the North Sea, two Border Force ships, Volunteer and Typhoon, were observed coming into the port to drop off migrants they had picked up in the Channel.
A total of 49,797 migrants have been picked up from the Channel since the General Election in July last year, with this figure including 281 who arrived amid perfect weather conditions for crossing the Channel.
More than a thousand people have now arrived since the Government’s widely mocked ‘one in, one out’ agreement with France became active last Wednesday.
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said: ‘Labour cancelled the Rwanda deterrent plan before it started with no replacement, and numbers have surged.
‘This year so far has been the worst in history for illegal immigrants crossing the Channel. Labour has lost control of our borders. Every illegal immigrant needs to be removed immediately upon arrival. But this government is too weak to do that.’
On Sunday, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage posted a video which showed migrants chanting ‘Allahu Akbar’ as they seemingly crossed the English Channel.
He said: ‘This is a national security emergency. Allowing these men to invade our country will not end well.’
Last week, Mr Philp accused Sir Keir Starmer of ‘gaslighting the British public’ and making ‘grossly exaggerated’ claims over the new migrant deal.
He said the returns agreement would see only 6 per cent of migrants sent back. The deal is also due to last just ten months.
Speaking about the first detentions under the deal, the Prime Minister warned migrants: ‘If you break the law to enter this country, you will face being sent back.’
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said ‘every migrant’ will be ‘throwing away their money if they get into a small boat’.
Since the start of this year, a record 26,555 migrants have arrived – up 49 per cent on the same period last year.
Over the weekend, anti-illegal-immigration protests persisted nationwide. Outside of hotels housing asylum seekers in Bristol and the Gatwick area of West Sussex, protesters gathered.
There was also a demonstration near two migrant hotels in Bournemouth.
New arrivals follow claims by Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick that the small boats crisis has made British women and girls less safe.
The Tory MP said he fears for his own three young daughters against a backdrop of illegal migrants with ‘medieval attitudes’ crossing the Channel.
In an article for The Mail on Sunday, Mr Jenrick stated: ‘I certainly don’t want my children to share a neighbourhood with men from backward countries who broke into Britain illegally, and about whom we know next to nothing.
‘And I don’t want anyone else’s family to have this forced on them either.’
Mr Jenrick, whose daughters are 14, 12 and 10, says the Channel crossings are now a ‘national security emergency’.
Mr Jenrick references the incredible case where two Afghan asylum seekers were charged over the alleged rape of a 12-year-old girl in Nuneaton, Warwickshire.
Mr Jenrick called for more stringent action on deporting criminals back to their home countries, and said foreign aid should be suspended from those countries if they resist accepting them.
Pakistan should have its £133 million aid and visa access cut if it continues to block deportations, he argued.
Quite simply, the RNLI have become an Uber service for migrants, and then when they get here, they live in four-star hotels and work for Uber illegally while paying no taxes.
Keir Starmer said there should be one in and one out. Are you kidding me? It should be none in and all out! But, of course, that scam was intended to buy him time, and the Rwanda scheme was simply a gimmick; however, putting them up in hotels is apparently much better.
Starmer talks about smashing the gangs – he and his comic government couldn’t smash potatoes into mash – he’s just pathetic.
If you watch YouTube and the news, people are being beaten and kicked by raving Muslims shouting that the UK is their country and Sharia law trumps ours, and this is what we have imported.
I believe that a State of Emergency should be declared, as we are presently unable to defend our borders and our people, and our government seem to be unfit for purpose.
This is all ludicrous. Our great-grandparents fought in WWI, and our grandparents suffered in WWII – Frankly, what was the point?
Does this occurrence worry or annoy people? I think so. We have to fight for our children and grandchildren, and I’m concerned about their safety because this is occurring right now, right in front of our eyes.
There should be no benefits, no hotels, no free meals, no free money, no phones and no incentive to come to the UK, it’s that simple.
I mistakenly believed that the border force was meant to guard our borders and prevent illegal immigration, not to facilitate it.
The cross-channel is definitely living up to its new name. What we should be calling it is the ‘cross-channel free taxi service’ – just phone for a pickup.
