"Over 5,000 illegal boat migrants have reached the United Kingdom in small rubber dinghies from France since the start of the year, analysis from the Press Association on Friday found.
The massive increase in illegal boat migration this summer has forced the British government to deploy Royal Air Force (RAF) planes to the English Channel to assist the UK Border Force in the growing crisis."
These assets simply pick up detected migrants in the water and bring them the rest of the way to Britain, however, with reports suggesting that the Royal Navy may have to be sent to finally begin a “push back” of migrants to France.
The Border Force has revealed that they have intercepted migrants claiming to be Iraqi, Iranian, Sudanese, Yemeni, Syrian, Eritrean, Kuwaiti, Tajikistani, Vietnamese, Guinean, Malian, Turkish, Afghan, Palestinian, Sri Lankan, Egyptian, Ethiopian, Pakistani, Chadian, Somali, Togolese, Nigerian, Libyan, South Sudanese, Albanian, and Chinese in the English Channel, the Express and Star reports.
The above countries have a combined population of well over two-and-a-half billion."

"French prosecutors say it “appears” a 16-year-old migrant who drowned in the Channel was actually a 28-year-old man, with relatives saying France had previously rejected an asylum claim by him."
