The UK and France signed an agreement Monday that will see more police patrol beaches in northern France in an attempt to stop illegal Muslim migrant-wannabes from trying to cross the Channel in small boats to get into the UK — a regular source of friction between the two.
ABC News As scores of people were picked up and brought ashore Monday by a U.K. Border Force vessel, the British government said it had agreed to pay France 72.2 million euros ($75 million) in 2022-2023 — almost 10 million euros more than under an existing deal — in exchange for France increasing security patrols along the coast by 40%.
That includes 350 more gendarmes and police guarding beaches in Calais and Dunkirk, as well as more drones and night vision equipment to help officers detect unauthorized crossings.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said the deal would mean “for the first time, British officials embedded in French operations to strengthen coordination and the effectiveness of our operations.”
In recent years there’s been a sharp increase in the number of illegal aliens attempting the journey in dinghies and other small craft as authorities clamped down on other routes such as stowing away on buses or trucks. More than 40,000 mostly Muslim illegals have arrived in Britain after making the hazardous Channel trip so far this year, up from 28,000 in all of 2021 and 8,500 in 2020.
The European Union borders and coast guard agency, Frontex, says 62,323 illegal migrants were detected in the channel in the first 10 months of 2022, a 70% increase on the same period last year. The figure includes both successful and intercepted crossings.

Where are these illegals getting the watercraft to make it across the Channel?
If Britain’s Coast Guard (equivalent) sunk these illegals, they would not be missed. Problem solved! And the bad publicity would die down in a month.

That aint bad and you should see the shootings of borderpatrol guards that try to stop them, what that aint true…well why do they have guns out of the ukraine here. I dont think that they use the guns als a fishing pole or whatever. Things are way worse here on the borders than you get to see or hear. They do all to keep the import going and yes they even imprison their own folk then their own folk aint worth shit and the new invader is better. Soon comes the hour of power and then we show the world what we think of this. Keep us on the grid then soon you will hear or read about us.
