Article name

[edit]

I think the article name is biased - the article itself says the use of the word "crisis" came from anti-immigration politicians. A better name might be "English Channel migrant incident" per the government declaration, or similar. So I suggest we rename it to "English Channel migrant crossing incident". -- DeFacto (talk). 13:20, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

These crossings are clearly illegal, invalid and without any visa passboards

[edit]

The term "illegal" should be mentioned in the title of the article. 46.93.249.161 (talk) 21:05, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Questionable wording, lack of citations?

[edit]

Although migrants arrive in England through illegal means

Do they?

Since November 2018, the number of migrants crossing has grown and some have referred to this growth as a "crisis".

[citation needed]?

The British government says criminal gangs arrange many of the crossings.

Ditto!

Some fairly prominent pages link to this article, think it's worth someone giving it a look over. Treppin (talk) 02:31, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
