Description

In 2025, over 41,000 people crossed the English Channel in small boats, marking the second-highest number on record. Despite government efforts to curb this trend, including removing nearly 50,000 illegal immigrants and passing new legislation, the debate over how to stop the boats continues. Critics argue that the governments plans are ineffective and that more needs to be done to address the root causes of this migration.
