According to the Breitbart report below, about 1,191 illegal migrants crossed the English Channel from France so far this month.
28,000 have crossed since the beginning of the year. The nonstop arrivals led to a prediction by UK Border Force ex-Chief Tony Smith, that the UK could see up to 100,000 migrants per year if a deal was not struck with France. Add now the Afghans who are claiming asylum in Britain, who have doubled in number since Afghanistan fell to the Taliban.
Britain is being transformed from within, with no security systems in place. The unsustainable costs of this mass migration continue to be placed on the backs of taxpayers who have already strained taxpayers due to the Covid economy. Meanwhile, reckless politicians line their pockets and do whatever it takes to avoid being labeled “racist” or “islamophobic.”
The Boris Johnson government has done nothing but deliver empty promises. It clearly has no plans to secure Britain’s borders or defend its sovereignty.

“Record 28,000 Illegal Boat Migrants Land in Britain This Year”, by Kurt Zindulka, Breitbart, December 21, 2021:
- The number of illegal boat migrants that have successfully reached the United Kingdom on Sunday was more than the entire month of December last year, with nearly 28,000 have crossed since the beginning of the year.
- An estimated 1,191 illegal migrants crossed the English Channel from the beaches of France so far this month. The Home Office said that 274 arrived on Sunday, more than the 211 that arrived during all of December 2020. The crossings came after 459 arrived on Thursday, and another 358 on Friday.
- The latest illegal crossings bring the total number of alien boat arrivals to a record 27,938, according to calculations made by The Times, over three times as many as the 8,420 who arrived during 2020 — the previous annual high.
- While traditionally a slower month for illegal migration across the English Channel due to weather, unseasonably warm conditions have allowed the people smuggling trade to continue. On top of those who successfully reached British shores, another 848 migrants were intercepted by French authorities, demonstrating the number of people camped out in Calais waiting for a chance to cross.
- Despite Britain agreeing over the Summer to fork over an additional £54 million to the French to step up enforcement against human traffickers and to increase patrols of beaches in Calais, the crisis has only intensified. The French government has also been reluctant to come to any agreement on the return of migrants sailing to Britain from France.
- Ultimately, any hope of enforcing borders and saving lives at sea seems remote while negotiations over the Channel remain at a point of blame-game and finger-pointing between Paris and London.
- The number of illegal boat migrants that have arrived in the UK so far this year is edging close to predictions made by Brexit leader Nigel Farage in July, who said at the time: “I’ll predict this, I said eight weeks ago that I thought the number that will come will be 20,000, at this current pace it could even be 30,000. It is totally out of control.”
- “I have no confidence that Boris Johnson, Priti Patel, or any of them have the guts or the courage to deal with it,” he added….
