British authorities registered more than 200 immigrants on Thursday, March 24 and 25, following the interception of more than 900 migrants between France and the United Kingdom last Tuesday, March 22. French authorities detained more than two hundred immigrants as they tried to cross.

“It is unacceptable to cross the canal dangerously,” said Tom Pursklov, the UK’s immigration minister. This not only completely violates immigration laws, but also affects the ability of UK taxpayers to help refugees come to the UK at the risk of their lives.

The Minister pointed out that the government has taken stern action against human traffickers through the National and Boundaries Act.
