Shocking New Figures Reveal Total Number of Illegal Migrants Who Entered the UK Since Keir Starmer Became PM!
The small boats keep coming across the Channel, packed with people willing to risk everything for a chance at reaching Britain. The numbers tell a worrying story – over 30,000 have made it since the new government took over, with nearly 7,000 arriving this year alone. That’s a big jump from previous years.
Just last Friday, after a short break in crossings, another four boats brought 154 people to our shores. Each one represents another victory for the criminal gangs who profit from this misery, charging desperate people thousands for a spot on their dangerous dinghies.
The government’s scrambling to respond. David Lammy’s been in the Balkans trying to cut off smuggling routes, while new plans aim to stop gangs advertising their services on social media. But it’s like trying to plug a leaking dam with your fingers – fix one problem and another springs up.
Ministers point fingers at the previous government, saying they left border security in chaos. Their new Border Security Command is supposed to fix this, combining police, intelligence and immigration enforcement. But critics wonder if it’s too little, too late.
At the heart of this is a simple truth: as long as Britain remains an attractive destination – whether for jobs, benefits or safety – people will keep coming. The smugglers know this, which is why they keep packing boats despite the risks. Tragically, some don’t survive the journey, but for many, the gamble seems worth it.
With summer coming and calmer seas, everyone’s bracing for the numbers to climb higher. The government insists its tougher approach will work, but so far, the small boats keep coming, wave after wave. It’s becoming one of the defining challenges of our time – how to protect our borders while staying true to British values of compassion. Not an easy balance to strike.
