Britain and France signed a new agreement to try to stop illegal migration across the Channel on Saturday, upping patrols and technology in the hope of closing off a dangerous route used by migrants to try to reach the UK on small boats.

UK interior minister Priti Patel said that under the deal, the number of officers patrolling French beaches would double, and new equipment including drones and radar would be employed.

Patel said in statement that the agreement represented a step forward in the pair’s mission to make channel crossings unviable. The UK and France plan to continue a close dialogue to reduce migratory pressures at the shared border over the next year, she added.

Best way is stop bombing other countries people will stay in their hometowns illegal migration will end when their attacks will end

Lol you can literally see Calais, France from any vantage point in Folkestone, England - anyone with a speed boat and 40 minutes to spare can enter/leave quite easily

Oh, please...this is not a new deal, just a further payment to France agreed by the UK Government under the terms of the Sandhurst Treaty...!
