The number of Brits who think Johnson is failing on immigration has jumped 18% since March, reflecting public awareness of the boats filled with Muslim migrants that are routinely coming into the UK illegally across the English Channel, with help from the French navy. In one case, the migrants were threatening to drown their own children if they were barred from entering Britain.
As reported previously on Jihad Watch:
Boris Johnson has been rather quiet as Muslim migrants, many with coronavirus, continue to invade his country illegally, some with help from the French navy. The migrants are from Iraq, Syria, Kuwait, and Iran. Amid the coronavirus lockdown and Antifa/Black Lives Matters anarchy, the hijrah continues, largely under the radar.
Now it is no longer under the radar. British citizens are finally beginning to wonder what is going on with Boris Johnson. But in one hopeful report, 11 were arrested for involvement in a people-smuggling gang that was found to be transporting Muslim migrants across the channel.
“62 Per Cent of Britons Think The Government is Failing on Immigration,” by Kurt Zindulka, Breitbart, July 28, 2020:
A poll has found that 62 per cent of the British public believe that Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government is performing “badly” in its handling of immigration, as illegal boat migrants in the English Channel soar to record levels.
The YouGov poll found that just 23 per cent of Britons think that the Conservative Party government is performing “well” on the issue of migration. The survey also showed that the percentage of people who are critical of the government’s handling of immigration has jumped from 44 per cent in March to 62 per cent this month.
Responding to the polling data, the chairman of the London-based immigration pressure group Migration Watch UK, Alp Mehmet, told Breitbart London: “The proposed weakening of the system by removing the cap on workers, the handing of control to employers, the open invitation to millions of Hong Kongers and the clear helplessness in dealing with illegality in the Channel have doubtless all contributed to the public’s perception.”
“And this despite the traditional media all but washing their hands of immigration, an issue still of massive importance to Brits,” Mr Mehmet added.
In the 2019 Conservative manifesto, Boris Johnson pledged to reduce the number of migrants coming to the country through the introduction of an Australian-style points-based system for immigration. However, the system proposed by Johnson government would not set a cap on the number of migrants, which critics claim could serve to increase immigration rather than decrease it.
Three previous manifestos from the Conservative Party pledged to reduce migration “from the hundreds of thousands to the tens of thousands”. These promises were left unfulfilled and Johnson has now dropped the target.
In 2017, the former Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, admitted that the Tory governments never actually intended on fulfilling their pledges to the public to cut migration.
In a Breitbart London exclusive video, Mr Mehmet said that “the Tories have frankly run scared of their previous commitments and promises that they would reduce immigration. ‘Get it down to tens of thousands’ they said, which frankly was not a bad objective.”
“They couldn’t do it, largely because they were afraid,” he added.
In June, a report from the National Audit Office (NAO) admitted that the Home Office does not have a clear understanding of the number of illegal immigrants residing in the United Kingdom.
The report noted that the Home Office has abandoned attempting to determine the number of illegals in the country, opting instead to estimate the figure through the number of interactions with immigration officials, which the government says is between 240,000 to 320,000 per year.
Independent research conducted by the Pew Research Center estimated that the number of illegal migrants living in the UK could be as high as 1,200,000, compared to the estimated 430,000 claimed by the government in 2005….

Edmund says
World and Europe is severly overcrovded, while global problems arise, which threaten the continuation of life on Earth. My country has almost 40 millions people and there a little somewhat natural land. We really don’t need any more people.
mortimer says
OK, Boris. The people have given you the mandate to stop the illegals. Go for it. The Coast Guard leaders know how to do it.
Crusader 666 says
Does Britain have not helicopter gunships to repel these invaders?
These invaders are pouring across the Channel, and God knows how many thousands more are arriving in the Essex creeks by night, to be picked up and driven to sweatshops and brothels.
BoJo has a clear mandate to stop illegal immigration, and ran on a platform of immigration control quotas, so why is he doing nothing to stop them? Either fulfill your promises to the British people or RESIGN!!!!
gravenimage says
Britain does not have to use gunships–what rot. But Britain *should* be deporting all of these these invaders back across the channel.
Rufolino says
Deport them ? You must be joking.
Britain has surrendered to the Hijrah.
It’s a fait accomplis. The UK’s original identity has gone. It is now a state celebrating something called “diversity”.
Until the decision by Islam to subjugate everyone else.
gravenimage says
I am not going to surrender yet. I hope patriotic Britons like you don’t, either, Rufolino.

UK survey shows 62% of Britons think Boris Johnson government is failing on immigration

Sadly, this is true. And things would have been even worse under Labour.

Kevin R says
It damn well matters to me! If Boris thinks he can bury this issue under the carpet he is very much mistaken. His failure to act means we have 48,000 illegal immigrants currently residing in hotels up and down the country and more on the way each day. This sends out entirely the wrong message by a PM who is both weak and ineffectual – betrayal.
Peter WF says
Western governments are dependant on migrants to grow the economy. The economy needs to grow at some percentage that economists consider a good number. If they don’t grow it they will be perceived by the voters as being poor economic managers and loose power. Pollys don’t care where these people come from. They are called migrats for that reason. Most business works on the fact that there will be population growth.

Muslim migrants are largely on the dole, and Jihad terror costs the West a fortune.
Other migrants may indeed be a boon to the economy–in time, at least–but Muslims are anything but.
James Lincoln says
Peter WF,
Muslim migrants are a net negative on the economy.
Most receive government benefits – and contribute relatively little overall to the general economy.
And law enforcement costs increase substantially…
Christopher Watson says
There have been problems since the 1950s. No government, Left or Right, have even attempted to reduce the number of immigrants. In fact Blair and Brown flooded the country with them in order to sway the vote in their favour. There is also no method of finding the illegal immigrants who are here since we have no ID card system.
OLD GUY says
Yes it is an invasion of Briton by an army of illegal immigrants that are invading through migration, not coming to become part of the British society. The muslim/islam invaders wish to change the British Crown to Islamic rule and sharia law.

Why pay for a military if not to defend the shores? The British pay for a military, including attack helicopters that could sink the boats the minute they invade British territorial waters. It is only a question of will: does the British government have the will to defend the shores against foreign invasion by advocates of a totalitarian doctrine that would overthrow the British government by violence and impose Sharia?
