# Migration Chaos as 1,500 Asylum Seekers Cross Channel on Small Boats Since Thursday
The ongoing situation in the English Channel has worsened, with over 1,500 asylum seekers making perilous crossings in small boats since Thursday. This surge comes after two weeks of challenging weather conditions that temporarily halted these illegal entries. As a result, the total illegal arrivals this year have surpassed 38,000, highlighting a significant and concerning trend for our national sovereignty and security.
Despite claims from certain quarters suggesting a decline in activity signaled effective government policy, the reality is quite different. "It was odd to see ministers suggesting the absence of migrant activity in the Channel over the past two weeks suggested Government policy was having an impact. We see it repeated time and time again," noted a senior maritime source. The notion that we can rely on weather patterns to manage immigration is not only naïve but also reflects a desperate attempt to deflect responsibility from the chaos at our borders.
The government's focus on dismantling smuggling operations is commendable and might yield results in the long term, but immediate actions are necessary to restore order. The statistics indicate a one-way flow of migration, and without decisive enforcement at our borders, these numbers are set to climb further. "Efforts to dismantle the smuggling gangs might well have some impact in the longer term, but for the moment, the numbers are only heading in one direction," reported the Daily Express.
Patriotism demands that we protect our nation against unchecked migration. The current situation undermines our traditional values and places an undue strain on public services. As calls for stronger measures grow louder, one can hope for a renewed commitment to law and order. Recent statements from officials underscore this sentiment, with one expressing, "I will do whatever it takes to scale up removals of illegal migrants and secure our borders," as a clear directive to prioritize the interests and safety of British citizens.
As the United Kingdom grapples with this ongoing crisis, the commitment to upholding our cultural heritage and values must remain steadfast. Only through a strong, united front can we reclaim control of our borders and ensure a secure and prosperous future for generations to come.
