A new record of illegal boat migrant arrivals was set on Christmas day in Britain, with the Ministry of Defence reporting that 90 migrants were brought ashore on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Capping off a record year for illegal migration in the English Channel, in which over 45,000 have crossed the busy waterway in often dangerously flimsy rubber boats from the beaches of France, a further 90 migrants<\/a> were brought ashore after crossing in two boats on Christmas day.<\/p>\n

This represents a new record for the holiday, topping the previous record set last year when 67 landed<\/a> on Christmas which broke the former high of 40 in 2018<\/a>. The increase falls in line with a broader trend of illegals crossing the Channel, with 28,526 recorded arrivals\u00a0last year<\/a>,\u00a08,466 in 2020, 1,843 in 2019, and just 299 in 2018.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for the Home Office \u2014 the department responsible for controlling immigration in Britain \u2014 trotted out the standard line once again, saying<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cNobody should put their lives at risk by taking dangerous and illegal journeys.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will go further to tackle the gangs driving this, using every tool at our disposal to deter illegal migration and disrupt the business model of people smugglers.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, successive Conservative governments have been unable, or indeed unwilling to tackle the ever-growing crisis. This has come with deadly consequences, with\u00a0four boat migrants, including a teenager<\/a>\u00a0losing their lives earlier this month after their people-smuggler-provided craft capsised in the Channel. This came just over a year after 27, including an infant, perished in similar circumstances.<\/p>\n

Crucially, however, the government has refused to take a push back the boats approach with France, despite paying the EU nation hundreds of millions to clamp down on the migrant crossings and people smugglers operating from the beaches of Calais and elsewhere.<\/p>\n

While the government won a recent victory at the High Court this month for its scheme to house migrants in the East African nation of Rwanda while their asylum claims are processed, the plan still faces significant legal hurdles including likely challenges<\/a> at the Supreme Court and European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) which the UK is still bound by despite leaving the EU as the court is technically<\/em> a separate institution.<\/p>\n

This would end overnight if the government simply refused to allow illegal migrants entry. Instead it has housed and fed them at taxpayer\u2019s expense, often in three and four star hotels, which only encourages more to come. This is what the government wants, because ultimately our leaders are complicit in a scheme for population replacement<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39262,"featured_media":245513,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[97],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-262878","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-european-migrant-crisis"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262878","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/39262"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=262878"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262878\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":262900,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262878\/revisions\/262900"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/245513"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=262878"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=262878"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=262878"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
