    About our English Channel Migrants news

    Latest news, comment and analysis on the issue of refugees and migrants attempting to enter the UK illegally by crossing the English Channel.

    An increasing number of refugees and migrants have been entering the United Kingdom illegally by crossing the English Channel in the last decades. Seaborne crossings aboard small boats by would-be refugees and migrants were rare before November 2018. More commonly, they stowed away aboard trains, lorries or ferry boats, a technique that has become more difficult in recent years as British authorities have intensified searches of such vehicles.

    Some migrants now arrive in small boats across the English Channel, and may enter the country unnoticed, while others are apprehended on landing or are rescued when their craft founders off shore.
