More than 25,000 migrants have crossed Channel this year, latest figures reveal

, insisting the country is"safe", and both Tory leadership candidates have said they would keep the scheme if they become the next prime minister.

Former Chancellor Rishi Sunak said:"Our immigration system is broken and we have to be honest about that. Whether you believe that migration should be high or low, we can all agree that it should be legal and controlled."Right now the system is chaotic, with law-abiding citizens seeing boats full of illegal immigrants coming from the safe country of France with our sailors and coastguards seemingly powerless to stop them. It must stop and if I am prime minister I will stop it.

The numbers of migrants crossing the Channel has risen dramatically in the last four years - going from 299 in 2018 to 1,843 in 2019, 8,466 in 2020 and 28,526 last year, official figures show. But the figure still remains a fraction of the number of people going to mainland Europe, with United Nations data showing at least 120,441 people arrived in Europe via the Mediterranean by land and sea last in 2021.

Further evidence that pritipatel racist policy doesn't work. Opening a processing office in France is only solution. But, to do that the Tory boys and girls need to admit they were wrong, and admit we need a good working relationship with France. Under trussliz we will not.

So Brexit was pointless then?

We need a camp then, stop putting them in hotels and accommodations, stop giving them benefits, stop stop stop trussliz

Absolutely appalling, it has to stop NOW!
