Border force brought 50 more migrants to UK shores today from two boats they picked up in the Channel.
The latest arrivals, which included women and young children, attempted the dangerous crossing despite Boris Johnson's scheme to process asylum seekers in Rwanda being designed to discourage them.
It is thought that they were hurrying to make the crossing in order to beat the cut off point before the Rwanda scheme begins.
Mr Johnson told the Daily Mail that the first 50 'illegal entrants into this country' have already been served notice that they will be sent to the African nation within a fortnight.
