Over 20,000 Migrants Have Crossed English Channel Into UK This Year

More than 20,000 people have crossed the English Channel illegally
into the UK aboard small boats since the start of the year, more than
double the total for the whole of 2020, the latest figures show.

Despite government promises to stem the flow of small boats, which are
often overloaded semi-rigid inflatables, the numbers this year have
continued to eclipse those of previous years.

On Nov. 2, UK authorities rescued or intercepted 456 people who
attempted to cross the Channel, and the French authorities also
prevented 343 people from reaching the UK.

Some 19,756 people had already reached the UK from France in small
boats this year, according to data compiled by the PA news agency.

Dan O’Mahoney, Clandestine Channel Threat Commander for the Home
Office, described the journey as “dangerous, unnecessary, and
facilitated by violent criminal gangs profiting from misery.”

    “We are working with the French to stop boats leaving their
beaches and crack down on the criminals driving these crossings,” he
said.

In July, the UK and France announced an agreement on tackling the
problem, under which the UK would pay France £54 million ($75 million)
to more than double the number of police patrolling French beaches.

Before 2018, the crossing accounted for a tiny proportion of illegal
immigration with only a few known to make it each year.

The number of people attempting the crossing started to increase from
the winter of 2018. That year 299 people made the crossing, according
to Home Office figures.

The English Channel, which is 21 miles across at the narrowest point,
is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world.

In the last two or three years, several people have died attempting to cross.

Last week, Home Secretary Priti Patel described as “appalling” and an
“absolute tragedy” an incident in which as many as three people are
thought to be unaccounted for after trying to cross from France to the
UK in a dinghy.

Two men—both Somali nationals—were rescued off the Essex coast near
Harwich on Oct. 25 and searches for any possible remaining survivors
have now been called off.

According to the Home Office, last year, when migration dropped due to
pandemic restrictions, “known illegal entry” to the UK as a whole was
around 16,000 people.
