💨 Abstract

On a recent Saturday, people-smugglers used boats to transport 1,194 migrants from French beaches to the UK, the highest daily number since 2022. Only 184 were stopped, with police unable to intervene in shallow waters due to French law. The UK's Defence Secretary criticized the situation, noting a lack of border control. The total arrivals this year are the highest on record, with more crossings expected due to good weather.
