Channel Crossings Continue Despite UK Funding of French Police

The perilous journey of illegal migrants from war-torn countries to the UK continues unabated. Despite millions of pounds invested in French police resources to deter crossings, small boats packed with migrants are still making the treacherous trip across the English Channel. ITV News reporter Peter Smith spent a night in Dunkirk and witnessed firsthand the scale of the problem. He reports that French police, equipped with night vision goggles, provided by the UK government, inexplicably abandoned their patrol, allowing a boat filled with migrants to depart. One migrant, a young Kurdish girl named Anna, expressed her fear but determination to reach her relatives in the UK. Another migrant, from Sudan, stated that only the end of the war in his country would make him return home. The video underscores the ongoing challenge of illegal immigration and the need for more effective solutions.
