British authorities say they have recorded a surge in attempted boat crossings in the English Channel this year – a trend that appears to be reinforced by coronavirus travel restrictions forcing migrants on boats rather than trucks. On Wednesday, a Sky News reporter witnessed the rescue of around 65 migrants traveling to UK shores on tiny dinghies. Meanwhile, human rights lawyers are concerned that migrants are being returned from the UK to France illegally.
The British Border Force on Wednesday intercepted various dinghies with around 65 people who tried to cross the English Channel. The passengers, who said they were of Iranian, Iraqi, Kuwaiti, Pakistani, Syrian, Yemeni and Afghani nationality, were taken to Dover harbor and handed over to immigration officials, BBC reports. And the damn Invasion continues and nothing is being done!
