Nearly a thousand migrants crossed from France to the United Kingdom through the English Channel on Christmas Day

London moves towards a tightening of immigration legislation

LONDON, 26 Dec. (DPA/EP) -

Some 90 migrants crossed the English Channel on Sunday, Christmas Day, from French territory to the United Kingdom aboard two small boats.

With this new figure, the total balance of migrants who have crossed the English Channel now rises to more than 45,750 so far this year.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has promised new legislation for next year to try to stop migrants crossing.

Sunak's proposal is to ensure that if someone illegally enters the UK they have no right to stay in the country.

Meanwhile, some of his ministers are also working to toughen immigration rules to curb the number of people entering the country legally.

The Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, has drawn up a bill that tries to control the entry of foreign students, make it difficult for spouses to enter the UK and, if approved, will increase the minimum wages of companies that employ skilled workers.

According to a draft of the proposals to which the newspaper 'The Times' has had access, the Government could increase the minimum income threshold for those national citizens who apply for a family visa.
