A total of 503 migrants crossed the English Channel in one day as the Government considers a major shake-up of the country’s immigration rules.

The latest arrivals came in seven small boats on Saturday, with more vessels making the crossing from France on Sunday.

It brings the total for the past three days to 1,772, and for the year so far to 38,726. This compares with 32,119 who made the journey by the same date last year, and 26,699 in 2023.

More people were photographed in Dover on Sunday being brought ashore on a Border Force vessel while wearing lifejackets, with some wrapped in blankets.

The arrivals in the Kent port come as Shabana Mahmood is understood to be set to announce a major shake-up of Britain’s immigration rules in the coming weeks with changes modelled on the Danish system.

The Home Secretary sent officials to Denmark last month to study its border control and asylum policies, which are seen as some of the toughest in Europe.

Its tighter rules on family reunions and restricting some refugees to a temporary stay are among the policies being looked at.

Ms Mahmood wants deterrents in place to stop people seeking to enter the UK via unauthorised routes, while making it easier to remove those who are found to have no right to stay.

Sources said she was eager to meet Danish immigration minister Rasmus Stoklund as soon as possible.

  1. if only we had a king of any merit to stop this invasion.

  2. How does “smashing the gangs” work if Border Force is facilitating their operations by bringing those people in

  3. All the lefty NGO’s that were hailing of how the 2 weeks before there was no one crossing are suspiciously quiet again.

  5. There’s more boats today by the way. 4 days in a row so far. Estimated at least 300. So looking at over 2,000 in 4 days

    By this point in 2022 we were at 39,929 where as now we just breached 39,000. Already passed totals for 2024 and 2023.

  6. Dingy’s don’t float well with holes…I heard it from a friend.

  7. If only we British had some sort of sea going armed force capable of repelling invaders crossing from a ‘safe’ country..

  8. Thank goodness. Another 500+ doctors and nurses for our struggling NHS!

  11. Jesus Christ. What’s it going to take for this to stop. Complete societal collapse?

  13. “All refugees are welcome” … be careful what you wish for as literally ALL of them are coming….

  14. We could stop making it so easy for them. They only have to get part way and then they get picked up. Let them make the whole way unaided that might slow a few down

  15. UK is an absolute joke right now. Economy is collapsing, increased taxes, unemployment, high cost of living, yet they still allow this to happens because corrupt politicians. They and Russia benefit this, while citizens get shafted.

  19. What I don’t understand is why border forces are picking them up and bringing them here they should be sent back to France it’s a safe nation.

    Ridiculous

  20. 1 in 1 out.

    1,772 in and none out.

    Eh tomato, tomahto!

  21. What a joke… I arrived at Heathrow last night and saw extensive security passport checks… and yet we get this trash coming in. Honestly, deport them all and refuse all applications / human rights claims.

  22. The 1 in 1 out is working well. 500 migrants in, 500 citizens leave to NZ and Australia.

  23. How are we going to build enough hospitals to give all these doctors employment?????

  26. Boat crossings always come in batches. No one is going to cross when the weather is bad, because being dead makes the whole process redundant. So crossing are about to stop when the weather gets really cold, and they will be back again next year.

    All in all high numbers = a warm day.
