English authorities have deported virtually none of the 45,728 illegals who landed last year, data from the Home Office show. Total booted: 215.
Only seven deportees were criminals:
According to Government figures, 2022 saw record numbers cross the Dover Strait — 1,104 boats, with an average of 41 migrants in each.
But of the huge numbers intercepted in the Channel last year, just 215 were removed or deported, according to data obtained from the Home Office through a Freedom of Information request.
This equates to 0.47 per cent of the total — less than five in every 1,000.
Natalie Elphicke, MP for Dover, said the deportation and removal figures are “so low” they no longer act as a deterrent to migrants.
Ms Elphicke said: “The number of Channel migrants who are deported or returned is so low it’s not serving as a deterrent.
“That’s why it is vital to stop the boats leaving France in the first place — and migrants picked up in the Channel should be immediately returned to France.
“The Home Office needs to get a grip on their processing to deport without delay.”

That 41-per-boat figure has remained consistent. April 5 through 11, 905 invaders landed in 21 boats, Home Office data show. That’s 43 per boat.
It always bears repeating that Israel shoots what they call “infiltrators.” Why can’t England sink a few small boats and send a message: Illegals who attempt to invade across the Channel will sleep with the fishes?
