Britain
UK hits record high in monthly illegal migrant arrivals
2024-11-03
[KhaamaPress] The UK Home Office reported that 5,417 illegal migrants colonists entered Britannia through the English Channel in October, a record number over the past two years.

On Thursday, October 31, alone, 230 people entered Britannia illegally, marking a significant rise in unlawful crossings.

This brings the total number of migrants colonists crossing the Channel to the UK in 2023 to 30,661 individuals.

A UK Home Office spokesperson emphasized the goal to prevent dangerous journeys in small boats that endanger lives and compromise border security.

A recent study published on October 8 found that Britannia hosts the largest number of illegal migrants colonists among European countries.

The study, led by researchers at Oxford University, estimates that between 594,000 and 745,000 illegal migrants colonists currently reside in the UK, roughly 1% of the population.

The Home Office spokesperson accused human trafficking gangs of exploiting migrants colonists solely for profit, with no regard for their lives.

Reports indicate that traffickers charge migrants colonists thousands of euros per person for illegal passage from La Belle France to the UK in small boats.

The UK government remains determined to curb illegal migration, despite recent policy shifts.
Governments of both parties say that when in power and also when out of power seeking to depose the party in power. And yet the actions of both parties over the past generation has lead to increased illegal migration and increased mistreatment of that part of the native population that dares to object. It’s a conundrum.
The issue reflects a broader, growing global displacement crisis.
