This year could see record numbers of people attempt to cross the English Channel to get to the UK.
Easy money slotxo 168 just understand the formula. Some players have not stepped out of the traditional betting framework.
Border Force union officials say their members have been told to expect numbers of arrivals to reach 60,000 this year - more than double last year's 28,000 figure.
Meanwhile, announcing UK plans to send some asylum seekers to Rwanda, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that the number of people arriving in small boats could reach "1,000 a day".
Why do migrants cross the Channel in boats?
For years, people smugglers have sent people to the UK in lorries. There have also been tragedies on these routes, including the 39 Vietnamese people found dead in a refrigerated lorry in 2019.
But security at the Port of Calais in France - where UK border controls are - has been tightened.
This means more attempts are being made to send people by boat, according to Tony Smith, former director general of UK Border Force.
Why do migrants leave France for the UK?
In the few studies that exist, family ties have been identified as the main reason migrants wish to travel from France to the UK.
In a survey of 402 people at the former Calais "Jungle" camp, researchers from the International Health journal found only 12% wanted to remain in France, while 82% planned to go to England.
Of those that wanted to travel to England more than half (52%), said they already had a family member there.
