For years, thousands of migrants from Africa, the Middle East and Asia have attempted to reach Britain from the French port of Calais, most by trying to stow away on trucks crossing the Channel. Recently, however, the number of migrants trying to cross in boats has risen, despite the risk of strong currents, cold waters and collisions in one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes. In March, a French court jailed two Iraqis and an Iranian man for organizing illegal migrant journeys across the Channel. Britain’s immigration minister, Caroline Nokes, called a spike in incidents in December 2019 “deeply concerning” after dozens of people were rescued trying to sail from France in an inflatable boat. And nothing has changed, in fact it is far worse.
