WATCH: Illegal Migrant Boat ‘Shadowed’ Into British Waters by French Ships

French ships were seen apparently escorting illegal migrants in small boats across the English Channel again on Tuesday morning, confirming earlier reporting from Breitbart London and Brexit leader Nigel Farage, who uncovered the practice.

ITV’s Good Morning Britain filmed the migrants crossing into British waters after being “shadowed” by French naval vessels in the Channel — reporting that at the time of filming they witnessed four or five migrant boats attempting to make the journey.

The film showed a small rubber dinghy with approximately ten migrants sailing by the crew’s boat, with the presenter remarking that the boat was clearly not designed to hold that many people — requiring them to bail water to keep afloat.

Reporter Jonathan Swain said: “They want to get here in English waters and they know that they are going to be picked up now by the [British] Border Force. They will then claim asylum, many of them disappear into the system or the black economy while they are claiming asylum… for them, this is their golden ticket.”

“This is what is happening on a daily occurrence at the moment,” Swain added.

He went on to remark on the “calmness of it all, the normality of it all” as the Border Force tossed a rope to the migrant boat, before towing them ashore.
The scenes were similar to those caught on film by Brexit leader Nigel Farage in May, who filmed an “absolutely packed” migrant boat in the English Channel apparently being escorted by the French into British territorial waters, ultimately handing them over to the UK Border Force.

“What we know is that a French naval vessel has been seen escorting boats out of French waters to get them into British waters… then they are off their hands,” Mr Farage said at the time.

The claims by the arch-Brexiteer were confirmed by reporting from Breitbart London’s Oliver Lane, who revealed that the French Navy’s own transponder data showed the French not only handed over migrants on the day Mr Farage filmed but had likely done the same procedure the week before.

On Tuesday, Farge released more footage of migrants arriving at the Port of Dover, describing the morning as “another chaotic day in the English Channel” and claiming that at least 130 migrants have been brought ashore since the start of the day.
