550 illegal migrants have already arrived in Britain via the English Channel during the coronavirus lockdown. Most of these illegal migrants are coming across the English Channel from France, and most are Iranians.
Crossings are continuing as the hijra goes on despite the coronavirus threat to the wider community.
“The Home Office confirmed that the first boat was carrying 13 men and two women, and the three other vessels were carrying 30 men and two women. All migrants claim to be from Iraq, Syria, Kuwait, and Iran.”
“91 Middle Eastern Migrants Intercepted in English Channel in One Day,” by Victoria Friedman, Breitbart, April 29, 2020:
British and French border authorities have taken ashore 91 Middle Eastern migrants in eight boats in the English Channel in just one day, with the vast majority of those taken into custody by the British being men.
Four boats managed to get as far as the Kent coast in the south-east of England on Monday before being intercepted by UK Border Force, while the other four were stopped by the French in the narrow, busy stretch of water between Great Britain and Europe.
The Home Office confirmed that the first boat was carrying 13 men and two women, and the three other vessels were carrying 30 men and two women. All migrants claim to be from Iraq, Syria, Kuwait, and Iran.
According to the BBC, all those intercepted in British territorial waters were taken to Dover, Kent, and transferred to immigration officials. The Home Office also confirms that all those detained are being observed for signs of the Chinese coronavirus.
Meanwhile, the UK’s French counterparts stopped four more migrant boats with a total of 44 migrants on board, all of whom are suspected of seeking to illegally travel to the UK.
Local news outlet KentOnline reported that the latest illegal boat crossings follow on from Sunday when UK Border Force caught three boats with 35 migrants on board, all of whom are said to be from Kuwait, Iran, and Iraq.
On Friday, the UK caught five boats carrying a total of 76 people, again with the majority – 55 – being men and all of which claim to be from Yemen, Kuwait, Iran, and Iraq. All were transferred to immigration authorities…..

If evading immigration controls isn’t a criminal offence, I’d like to know why. And assuming it is, this lot should have been arrested and thrown into custody, then sent straight back from whence they came.
Thereader says
It would be a good idea to find out who is supplying the boats, wouldn’t it? They should not be allowed to set foot onshore in the UK but should be towed back to France and dumped on the beach – then the boat taken away of course. The people of Britain are furious about this so Priti Patel – or wherever the buck stops – had better watch out. We need Nigel Farage in the Home Office.

On what theory are these people, all of whom are apparently from Muslim countries, allowed into the U.K.? How much money will each of them cost the British taxpayers, with free housing, free medical care, free education, family allowances (assuming they find brides among the Muslims already in the U.K.), unemployment benefits, and more? How many of these 91 economic migrants will engage in crime to supplement the support lavished upon them? How much will each Muslim criminal cost the state, to be surveilled, investigated, brought to trial, imprisoned? How likely is it that they will integrate successfully into British society, when the Qur’an tells them that Muslims are the “best of peoples” and non-Muslims the “most vile of created beings”? How can they be expected to ignore the more than 100 Qur’an verses that command Muslims to fight, to kill, to smite the necks of, to strike terror in the hearts of, the Infidels? Muslim migrants in Europe have exhibited rates of criminality far in excess of those of any non-Muslim migrants, and much higher rates, too, of unemployment.
What will it cost British taxpayers over time to support just those 91, possibly for decades? $30,000 a year for each economic migrant (housing, medical care, education, unemployment benefits, family allowances)? That is, almost $3 million a year, indefinitely, into the future? The large-scale presence of Muslims in Europe has led to a situation that is far more unpleasant, expensive, and physically dangerous for the indigenous non-Muslims and for other, non-Muslim immigrants than would be the case without such a large-scale presence.. What will it take for Western governments to come to their senses?

Hugh. another question that needs to be asked. How many countries have they all gone through to get to France? I can’t believe we are still taking them in here. They should never be allowed off the boats! Just send them back to France where they came from. It’s France’s problem. We have legal ways of getting into this country.

Where is the Buck that stops Here ?——All Members of Parliament whom we have allowed to work for us since the last Election——-Have closed their eyes and ears deliberately because it is too much like hard work to deal with——Considering they are all languishing at home with an extra Ten Grand each in their pockets—–They put me in mind of some Despots of the world who do nothing for the people!!!

Hugh Fitzgerald says,
“What will it take for Western governments to come to their senses?”
When the actions of the Western governments / NGOs / European Commission, etc., affect the “elites” DIRECTLY.
That is…
When the muslim migrants run out of “other people’s neighborhoods,” rape the daughters of prominent “elites”, etc.
The problem is, by then, it will be too late – and will not be fixed without a civil war.
Wellington says
I hope you’re wrong, James. I fear you’re right.
Wellington says
The burden to mankind which is Islam continues and the stupidity of the West continues. Double whammy.
James Lincoln says
The last time I checked, the closest two countries separated by the English Channel are France and the UK.
France is considered to be a “safe” country for so-called “refugees” (likely economic migrants).
Why are these muslim migrants from Iraq, Syria, Kuwait, and Iran not stopping at the first “safe” country?
Why does the UK have to accept them?
JoBo says
They are not refugees or economic migrants. They are alien invaders.

“I’ve been here 2 minutes and I still haven’t gotten my free stuff! Racist! Islamophobe!”
Chistopher Watson says
When Johnson was elected and Brexit happened we stupidly thought that the invasion by foreign nationals would be halted. Even Covid-19 seems to have had little effect. What will happen to these criminals? They will be cared for; money will be thrown at them and they will stay in free accommodation. When will this government realise we do have no-go areas and these foreigners are, or will be, a problem. What will our government say to our grand-children when we have the same situation as France.

91 Muslim migrants cross English Channel into Britain in a single day
………………
Why? Whether Muslims are coming from the Middle East or Africa, there are free countries nearer to them than England. The idea that any Muslim needs to flee to England in order to be safe is of course absurd.
They just want the benefits that England is handing out–that, and being able to target the English.
They should send all of these invading thugs back.
Alkimos says
They used to manage to “flee” all the way down here to Australia from their cesspits..we stuck them on a island for a few years..that seemed to help..now on to the other problem.. legal migration.
Aleksander says
Send them to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrein, United Aab Emirates, Turkey.
OLD GUY says
It boils down to invasion by migration. Muslims/islamics do not assimilate into western countries, they attempt to change their new home into an islamic/sharia law state. This is a well thought out plan by the islamic leaders, send your army into another country as civilians and let that country support them until you are ready to strike.
