The UK government has acknowledged that it has “lost control” of the nation’s borders as over a thousand more illegal migrants landed on British shores on Saturday.
According to figures from the Home Office, 1,194 boat migrants crossed the English Channel on Saturday in 18 vessels, marking a new high for the year.
Despite having forked over hundreds of millions to Paris to help pay for policing operations along the Calais coastline, French authorities only managed to prevent 184 illegals from crossing, or around 15 per cent of those who set sail.
Calculations from The Times of London found that the latest crossings have taken the total for the year to 14,811, a record high for this time of year and 42 per cent higher than at the same time last year.
Defence Secretary John Healey, while attempting to blame the previous Tory governments entirely for the situation, told Sky News: “Truth is, Britain’s lost control of its borders over the last five years, and the last government last year left an asylum system in chaos and record levels of immigration.”
