UK Police Charge Two After Migrant Deaths off France
Fifteen people have died so far this year trying to cross the English Channel

The UK’s immigration system is now “beyond parody,” say campaigners.
Ministers say the number of removals needs to be “significantly higher,” but the Rwanda Plan is unlikely to change this.
The criminal’s gang made up to £200,000 per crossing.
The Tories have criticised a new blueprint for failing to lower migration numbers, after failing to do so themselves.
The British taxpayers pay £480 million for increased French border patrols along the Channel, yet 20% fewer illegal migrants were stopped this year before making their way to the UK.
France is hoping that a floating barrier across a local river will prevent smugglers from picking up migrants in “taxi” boats and ferrying them to the United Kingdom.
“The rigour with which the Illegal Migration Bill is implemented will determine the extent to which it deters migrants from making the perilous journey.”
As boat migrant numbers pass 10,000 this year, the UK is paying millions of pounds daily to house over 100,000 migrants in hotels as a critic of the government claims boat migrants may represent just a fraction of the total number of illegals entering Britain.
Those who came to the UK illegally via small boats would, if their asylum claims are successful, be allowed to remain in the UK under the same set of rules as immigrants who arrive legally.
