Migrants Arrive In Small Boats On UK Shores

DOVER, ENGLAND - MAY 12: Illegal migrants disembark from a Border Force vessel into Dover port on May 12, 2025 in Dover, England. Keir Starmer announced a tighter government policy on immigration today, promising that numbers will fall significantly. The measures, including the requirement to learn English and a longer route to settled status, aim to reduce legal migration, which makes up the majority of migration to the UK. However, they don't include addressing small boat crossings or other entries without permission. (Photo by Carl Court/Getty Images)
