“Some 550 illegal boat migrants have reached British shores from France during the period in which the two countries introduced national lockdown measures to stem the spread of the Chinese coronavirus.”
Most of these illegals are coming across the English Channel from France. In January, it was found that most of those who were illegally crossing the Channel were Iranians. Before the coronavirus pandemic, only about 15% of them were being sent back, which indicates yet again the surrender of Britain to the hijra, at the expense of British citizens.
During the coronavirus pandemic, illegal migrants pose an additional health threat to the population, beyond security issues:
In camps in Calais and Dunkirk which house an estimated 1,500 migrants, at least 9 migrants have been confirmed to have been infected with the coronavirus. Despite the fear of an outbreak in the camps, the British government is not testing every illegal migrant for the illness.
And demonstrating once again how incompetent the UK is with respect to immigration:
Migrants are… brought ashore and given the opportunity to apply for asylum — despite the fact that France is a safe, first world country — in line with European Union regulations which Britain is still bound by.
Unless the UK closes these loopholes, it is destined to continue along the path of Islamization.
“‘Someone Has to Have Brought It Over’ — 550 Migrants Land In UK During Lockdown,” by Kurt Zindulka, Breitbart, April 19, 2020:
Some 550 illegal boat migrants have reached British shores from France during the period in which the two countries introduced national lockdown measures to stem the spread of the Chinese coronavirus.
Data released from the Home Office revealed that at least 481 migrants illegally crossed the English Channel since the start of the British lockdown and an additional 69 people were brought ashore the week prior, despite France having already announced lockdown restrictions.
In camps in Calais and Dunkirk which house an estimated 1,500 migrants, at least 9 migrants have been confirmed to have been infected with the coronavirus. Despite the fear of an outbreak in the camps, the British government is not testing every illegal migrant for the illness.
The former general-secretary of the Immigration Services Union (ISU), Lucy Moreton, told The Times that: “On a purely statistical basis, someone has to have brought it over”.
Moreton said that migrants were not being tested when they are brought ashore or when they are moved to local council areas, where they are rehoused while they are processed. The Home Office claims that any migrants displaying symptoms of the virus are tested, but Moreton warned that it was difficult to spot signs of the illness after the arduous journey over the Channel.
“When a Border Force vessel picks these people up, there’s no way of assessing symptoms. They are cold, wet and often seasick,” she said.
The Home Office figures do not count migrants that were caught on the French side of the channel and only represent those migrants that were actually detected illegally entering the country by the UK Border Force.
Attempting to enter the United Kingdom illegally by boat or other means does not mean that a migrant will automatically be deported. Migrants are instead brought ashore and given the opportunity to apply for asylum — despite the fact that France is a safe, first world country — in line with European Union regulations which Britain is still bound by.
In 2019, just fifteen per cent of all illegal boat migrants were deported.
People-smugglers in France have been charging £13,000 per person for crossing the Channel, up from £7,000 since autumn. In October, Breitbart London reported that the police in France were accused of assisting people-smugglers traffick migrants into Britain, notifying the criminals as to the best times to make illegal crossings.
Home Secretary Priti Patel has claimed that she is “determined” to halt the flow of illegal boat migrants over the English Channel.
“Criminal gangs are using false promises to take advantage of desperate situations and illegally smuggle people into the UK,” she said per the BBC.
“We are continuing to support the French to deploy extra patrols on French beaches, drones, specialist vehicles and detection equipment to stop these boats leaving European shores,” Patel added…..
Henry Mansfield says
15% of illegal invaders deported in 2019. Pitiful.
It would be different if the 85% that aren’t deported had any plans of assimilating, but by now that hoping for that is a pipe dream.
Joe Scott says
Not a Priti sight …
Westman says
One change: The invaders are no longer designated as “refugees”, now they are “migrants”. Soon they will be dependents on the UK dole.
Is this the beginning of a trend? When the benefits from either England or France dimnish, with respect to the other’s, hop across the channel for renewal as a new undocumented “migrant”. Could this scheme work within the EU? Holy Schengen!
John Allan says
‘Home Secretary Priti Patel has claimed that she is “determined” to halt the flow of illegal boat migrants over the English Channel.’
Well, she’s doing a piss-poor job! Unfortunately, I can’t think of a member of British government who would do a better one!
Jayell says
“The invaders are no longer designated as “refugees”, now they are “migrants”…….well, at least someone somewhere’s being honest and not trying to pull the wool over Joe Public’s eyes. But then, Joe Public was never so gullible as to believe that these scroungers ever were bona fide ‘refugees’, because Joe Public knew full well that they had been perfectly safe in France and in any case had nothing to ‘seek refuge’ from in the first place.

I have been reading here for several years and have seen no sign that the UK is closing loopholes. On the contrary, the people in charge are demonstrating daily their desire to destroy the UK and turn it into an islamic territory waiting to be part of the global caliphate. Vidkun Quisling would be proud that his example of collaboration is being followed.
Muslims do not enter a country to become “subjects”. They are not “refugees” or “migrants”. They are invaders. See for yourself what islam has taught and practiced for 1400 years..
Jerry Morgan says
If they’re Christians let them stay, for god says he would speard out the people of Elam and cast his throne in Elam before he ultimately does in Jerusalem. But, if they’re radical Islam ship them back. Save the Christians from persecution.
abad says
Send them all back to their home countries.
John Allan says
The British government should send them packing, but given their apparent inability – or rather, lack of motivation – to do so, that would be wishful thinking. So perhaps the most effective solution would be to arrange to have them infected with coronavirus, isolate them, and leave them.
Harsh? Perhaps! But far too many of them are a drain on taxpayer resources, thanks again to successive governments which have abjectly failed to do what the electorate pays them to do – their job!
mortimer says
Where was the Coast Guard? Can’t they turn them back?
John Allan says
On their tea break!

UK: 550 illegal migrants arrive in the country via the English Channel during coronavirus lockdown
……………….
Suicidal insanity. Why let them stay?
Frank Anderson says
GI, the people who will be killed are not the people allowing the invasion. I cannot authorize a person to enter your house and kill you.
gravenimage says
Frank, I know that you dislike this common and widely accepted phrasing. Still quite apt in this case, I think.
Frank Anderson says
GI, while I do sincerely disagree with your opinion, I will fight almost certainly to the day I die for your right to disagree with me. I CANNOT COMMIT YOUR SUICIDE. YOU CANNOT COMMIT MINE. I wish you well; and hope that you will see the difference between murder and suicide before it is too late. I wish you not just well, but the very best life has to offer, and all the very best that follows. God put us here for a reason and wants us to live.
Battle says
Not merit based immigration.
