13 Ways to Stop The Channel Migrant Crisis
After the sad deaths of 27 migrants in the Channel there needs to be ways to stop the people traffickers business model. Steven Woolfe suggest 13 ways to consider.
2021 has been a bumper year for people traffickers selling their UK Eldorado travel packages to their middle eastern customer base. For a mere $1500 they get you a travel pass from Afghanistan, Iraq or Iran into Turkey. For another $5000 they get you across to Europe for a sojourn in Northern French holiday resort of Calais. Finally, or the sum of 5000 euros they get you onto a huge inflatable dinghy and set sail for England.
If the boat doesn’t get you there People Traffickers Holidays will call the RNLI emergency lines who will collect you for free. It’s cheaper than Uber and more reliable. So

If the boat doesn’t get you there People Traffickers Holidays will call the RNLI emergency lines who will collect you for free. It’s cheaper than Uber and more reliable. So far this year 25,000 have taken them up on the offer and pocketed those intrepid entrepreneurs with approximately $304 million dollars or £228 million pounds for those Brits who will have to pay. That’s the equivalent of 6832 average salaried nurses.
Of course once the Channel migrant reaches the UK his status changes from illegal migrant to asylum applicant and from there on in the costs the UK taxpayer balloon even further. In the first year average costs are £40,000 per asylum applicant.
These include the shared costs of the police, border force and immigration agencies, medical staff initial assessments, transportation to holding centres, accommodation, heating, food and allowances, ongoing medical costs, translation services, education and huge sums to councils to manage integration, legal costs and legal aid plus the costs of funding the “charitable sector” to campaign for such groups.
These are estimates and the amounts are likely to be higher but with an annual cost of circa £1 billion anyone in government would suggest this is an issue? But there is no complaints from the Treasury and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, nor Health, Education or any other minister where these costs impact. Instead they simply absorbed the cost by asking for more.
So this week Mr. Johnson Maurice met with a Polish prime minister on Friday, and we're led to believe he discussed that country's illegal migration problems.
The huge numbers of illegal migrants on the Poland - Belarus border is equivalent to that of the numbers residing in Calais waiting got get to the Uk. Yet the approach to dealing with the border crisis is totally different in Poland
The Polish governments response is robust and to refuse access. They built built a huge fence including razor wire, put 15,000 soldiers on the borders, 5,000 police and allow the public to monitor and arrest any illegals that tried to get. When trouble started and a push to get through began they used water cannons to push them back
The results have been clear very few have managed to cross and now Belarus is flying men back to Iran and Iraq.
The British approach has not been stern at all. They have given the French 220 million over 10 years build one of their camps, fence off another of their camps and watch as the French police help them by ignoring the boats as they go in. Wwe take in 25,000 illegals in one year, send out our Navy border agency in lifeboat service to act as a taxi.
Then we house them, feed them, educate them, treat them with money and give them some spending. it certainly isn't taking back control of our borders
It’s not that Britain can’t do anything and here are a number of [00:02:00] ways in which I believe that politicians can deal with the crisis and actually take back control of our borders.
One. Increase our Naval presence in the channel with a permanent search, rescue and remove teams trained to ensure that the boats do not get into UK territorial waters too. Use our advanced tracking and international law permits return and pushing back migrant boats at sea into French territorial waters. If migrants fall in, you can then return them to France.
