"Moving through safe countries to their preferred destination is not a refugee, they are economic migrants and shouldn't claim asylum!"
Former Australian PM Tony Abbott says the "compassionate" way to tackle the migrant crisis is to turn back boats.
A teenager is believed to have been among the four people who died when a migrant boat capsized in the Channel.
Kent County Council leader Roger Gough told a council meeting on Thursday a youngster was one of the fatalities.
He told councillors that 12 of the 39 people rescued from the freezing water on Wednesday were lone migrant children who have now been taken into the authority’s care.
