Border control expert Henry Bolton says there's "much more" the UK and France could do to slow small boat migrants, but it is "difficult" because of the EU.
"The French don't want them any more than we do, we could do upstream disruption but we're not engaged with them!"
More than 80,000 migrants have arrived in the UK after crossing the Channel since the Government struck the Rwanda deal over two years ago.
The latest crossings also mean more than 125,000 migrants have made the journey in the last six-and-a-half years as the recent crisis unfolded.
The tally since Rishi Sunak became Prime Minister is edging closer to 50,000 and the number arriving since the General Election was called is nearing 1,000.
