The price to cross the English Channel varies according to the network of smugglers, between 3,000 and 7,000 euros.

CALAIS, FRANCE -- The price to cross the English Channel varies according to the network of smugglers, between 3,000 and 7,000 euros though there are rumors of discounts.

At a minimum, then, smuggling organizations this year have netted 69 million euros for the crossing -- that's 2 million euros per kilometer. The alleged smugglers -- from Moldova, Ukraine and Uzbekistan -- were recruited in their home countries via ads on social media offering work as drivers for 2,000-3,000 euros a month.

Channel crossings by sea were relatively rare until a few years ago, when French and British authorities locked down the area around the Eurotunnel entrance. One migrant from Sudan, who would only give his name as Yasir, had been trying for three years to get to the U.K.

If people are dumb enough to pay it and then climb aboard an over crowded rubber dingy to try and cross the channel then let the idiots do so. But then load them on planes and take them back to where they came from...lol

And another story where the 'victim' chooses to kill themselves Regardless of the well known risks beforehand
