Politics 82 migrants cross English Channel just days after 'weak' Labour opens citizenship pathway to illegals

As many as 82 migrants have crossed the English Channel today, GB News can exclusively reveal.

Mere days after Labour moved to repeal a number of Tory-era rules on migration - including restrictions on whether illegal immigrants could obtain British citizenship, dozens of people have arrived on Britain's shores.

And the figures come just one day after 47 migrants made the journey over from France in one small boat.

Images obtained by GB News show the Border Force vessel Hurricane sailing back in to Dover - and unloading several people onto the docks.

A Home Office statement on illegal crossings reads: "We all want to end dangerous small boat crossings, which threaten lives and undermine our border security.

"The people-smuggling gangs do not care if the vulnerable people they exploit live or die, as long as they pay.

"We will stop at nothing to dismantle their business models and bring them to justice."

But earlier this week, Labour's new Border Security Bill took heavy flak from migration hardliners Rupert Lowe and Suella Braverman.

Braverman said the Bill "removes all the security and provisions we had put into place to keep the UK safe and is a disgrace".

"To put it bluntly, it is an insult to the British people. It shamefully opens up our borders and disgracefully allows illegal immigrants to become citizens... If you enter the UK illegally, you should be detained, deported, and banned from ever returning," she added.
