Over 5,000 migrants have risked their lives this year trying to enter UK – Home Office

Over 5000 migrants have traveled across the English channel this year, and 800 crossed over during the Easter bank holiday weekend.

791 individuals traveled from Saturday, March 30 to Sunday, March 31, based on information from the Home Office.

Between January and March, the highest number of people arriving was 4,548. In the first four months of last year, 3,793 people arrived.

UK prime minister Rishi Sunak promised to stop the boats before the upcoming election later this year.

Shadow immigration minister Stephen Kinnock said that the Conservatives have allowed a lot of dangerous crossings over the English Channel this Easter holiday.

During Christmas, they said they were responsible for the few people crossing the border. But now, with almost 800 people coming in over the weekend, where are the Home Secretary and Prime Minister.

This is a total mess. It’s time for the Conservative party to take action and use the same plan as the Labour party to catch criminal smuggling gangs. They should create a new police unit that can work across borders and set up a new team to send back people who are not supposed to be in the country.
