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)
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)
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".
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)
