LONDON: A record 9,000 illegal immigrants crossed the English Channel into the UK in the first five months of this year.
According to the details, the UK has been tightening its immigration laws since leaving the European Union. The refugees will be relocated to the African country of Rwanda, and their asylum cases will be tried there, but despite these measures, large numbers of migrants are turning to the UK.
According to the British Press Association, since the beginning of this year, more than 9,000 illegal immigrants have managed to reach the UK by crossing the English Channel in small boats from France.
