“The number of migrants attempting to cross the English Channel rose by nearly 400 per cent in 2019.” These migrants are coming from Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia. Many are Iraqi, Iranian and Afghan nationals.
Last year, most were identified as Iranian. And as to why so many Iranians would risk the dangerous crossing”
Miodrag Ćakić, chief executive of Refugee Aid Serbia, which monitors migration through the Balkans, believes migrants arriving in the UK are among the thousands who flew into Serbia after the country began offering visa-free access to Iranians in August last year.
The move was ostensibly intended to increase tourism and trade between Iran, the world’s 25th largest economy, and Serbia, the 90th.
The visa scheme – which attracted allegations it was being abused by migrants seeking access to western Europe – ended on 17 October, by which time some 40,000 Iranians were said to have flown to the Balkan nation.
Whatever the reasons, open-door policies have encouraged an entitlement and expectation that migrants have a right to jump the queue and crash Western borders. They know they’ll be welcomed by Leftists, with total disregard for the rule of law. According to the Express, the latest surge in crossings is fuelled by Brexit, since “people smugglers” believe it will be more difficult to run their smuggling operations after Brexit is finally implemented.
Some good news to look forward to:
Home Secretary Priti Patel says that the Government will bring in tougher controls to crack down on criminal gangs after Brexit.
Conservative MP Natalie Elphicke offered her advice in a tweet:
But the UK has already paid France $6,000,000 to put a stop to the migrants swarming into the UK, in an agreement that has proven to be ineffective. Many migrants have already been intercepted by French authorities and turned back.
Globalists are ill-equipped to deal with the fallout of their reckless decisions. The public picks up the costs and faces the safety risks, while paying for the safety of the same reckless politicians who caused this crisis.
“Number of Migrants Trying to Cross English Channel up 400% over 2018,” by Kurt Zindulga, Breitbart, January 21, 2019:
The number of migrants attempting to cross the English Channel rose by nearly 400 per cent in 2019.
In 2019 the number of migrants attempting to enter the UK illegally by crossing the English Channel surged to 2,358, quadrupling the number of 2018, which saw 586 people attempting the perilous sea journey across one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes.
French authorities report that 261 migrant filled boats, which are typically undersized, overloaded and ill-equipped to deal with the heavily trafficked and icy waters of the channel, attempted to make the crossing, leading to four deaths last year, reports The Guardian.
Of the total, some 1,892 migrants successfully reached British shores last year, according to The Standard. The figure is twice as many as the year prior, many of whom were brought to Dover by UK Border Force.
The news comes after 43 migrants from Iraq, Iran, and Afganistan were brought to Dover after attempting to cross in three small boats.
Last week, Breitbart London reported that a former immigration chief blamed the surge in migrant crossings on increased border patrols on the channel.
“The more Border Force cutters there are in the Channel the more attractive it is for those setting sail in small boats. They know they will be picked up and taken to the UK. For them that is mission accomplished,” said David Wood, former immigration enforcement at the Home Office.
Home Secretary Priti Patel said that in response to the surge of illegal migrants, the government will look into how to speed up the deportation process, possibly to be modelled on Australia’s uncompromising system which saw a steep decline in illegal migration under the Commonwealth’s “stop the boats” policy…..

England is lost! The unfettered immigration by Muslims is destroying their soverignity!
Pm Churchill is not resting easy today. Hopefully the new PM Boris Johnson will stop the
insanity!! And save English tax paying citizens billions of dollars in support for illegals receiving welfare
medical, housing, etc, not to mention the crime they bring with them and refusing to acclimate to the countries they invade! English citizens deserve better!
God save the queen!!

👍🏼👍🏼Agree👍🏼👍🏼
Did you hear the news re the muslims chanting “death to the Queen”?
What’s being done about them????
Infidel says
If they are real refugees from Iran or Iraq, why don’t they stop at Turkey, which doesn’t persecute them? And if they do, why not move on to Bosnia, which is Muslim and not an alien culture? And if Serbia has to support Muslim refugees now, why not send them to Kosovo?
Similarly, if one is an Afghan, why not move north to Tajikistan, Uzbekistan or Turkmenistan, depending on their ethnicity? And if one is Pathan and is too scared to stop in Pakistan, why not go to Bangladesh and settle there?
The UK needs to stop letting them in: they already have enough Mohammedans from the subcontinenet
barbaracvm1 says
They come to the UK because they can do no wrong. The rape the women and young girls and nothing happens to them. Mention the rapes and you are called an Islamophobic.
The UK is paying for their living expenses, why would they not go to the UK.
Infidel says
I follow the logic that you’re giving. But that’s not how actual ‘refugee’ programs are supposed to work. If a refugee flees his or her home country, the first safe country outside that country which is not targeting him/her should be the place s/he should seek refuge. For the people listed above, those countries are right next to theirs, so they can go there by land
It’s another thing that the UK is so drenched in islamophilia that it does all the things you listed above

Absolutely 100% true. Smart countries like Poland and Hungary ARE enforcing the law.
Countries like the UK are NOT following the law regarding refugees – thus the problems follow…
Dawne Swift says
Most ordinary people in the UK are not islamophiliac! We just daren’t openly express what we think because we’d be harassed by the police or flung in jail. But you can clearly see that where the people are allowed to express their opinions – EU elections, general election – they vote against globalism and illegal immigration. Young people in the UK however are not taught to think critically and those at universities are often brainwashed by ultra left wing teachers. So what the future holds I don’t know.
Daunting but this seems to be prevalent in most English speaking countries, so where would one go in any event to escape this? We can only spread the word covertly, which is something I always do. Use social media to spread the truth; just be careful how you word it!

The MYTH of Andalusian Paradise by Dario Fernandez Morera
goes into detail has to how and why Muslims are so fearless in battle. how they use their deceptive,fork-tongue to con and trick the non muslims. He explains how they wage war and the mental games they play.
CogitoErgoSum says
The UK has paid $6 million to France for “stopping” these migrants? Yeah, that’s working out really well, isn’t it? Why not try billing France for the cost of shipping these illegals back to where they came from? Maybe that would provide some incentive needed to put a stop to things. The way it is now the French actually seem to be making money from the flow of illegals. Maybe Trump’s tactic of using tariffs would get the message across. If one thing doesn’t work, try something else.
Patti Pickerd says
Please suggest that idea to Boris, it’s a damn great idea. Have to agree with you, President Trump’s tariffs ARE working!!!

UK: Muslim migrants crossing English Channel up 400%
………….
How many free and safe nations do these invaders have to pass through before heading to Britain? They obviously are *not* refugees.
Marigold says
Iranians wouldn’t want to leave if their own country if it was worth living in. A country run by the ayatollas! No country can sustain that amount of illegal migrants because they are not refugees.
JDow says
Um, this is an invasion. Perhaps repelling it the way Britain of old defended itself has something good to be said for itself. Sink the boats mid channel. (Rescue the people but arrange that they are thought dead for a LONG time.)
I have quite a few British friends. Sadly they are utterly deluded in this regard. I hope they manage to get out before everything turns to Muhammadan poop. Britain is not going to be even a shadow Britain within my life time and I’m OLD. Let’s say a decade.

Rufolino says
In many regards Britain is already ‘a shadow Britain.’. Political correctness has drained its spirit. It has become apathetic. It will be a sitting duck for the imposition of Sharia later this century.

“Globalists are ill-equipped to deal with the fallout of their reckless decisions.”
Massive fallout and failure of Western society as we know it are exactly what globalists want! They despise the idea of a free Christian West and want to take it down no matter the cost. Hate to admit it, but they are succeeding. Massive uncontrolled 3rd world immigration while eroding Western society and Christian morals from within is their primary weapon.
As for whether they will actually be able to deal with the inevitable anarchy and lawlessness that’s to come if/when the West has fallen (in other words, will their highly secure ivory towers be able to protect them?) … that remains to be seen.
Henry says
This all makes sense. The evolving britishstan should be a part of the islamic caliphate, so Brexit carries the related logical meaning as well. The ex-UK must except all these migrants and invite much more, so no sign of their britishness will remain in the caliphate.
