The government has been warned that should the record setting pace continue, up to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/europe\/2022\/01\/19\/uk-govt-warned-65000-illegal-boat-migrants-may-land-this-year\/\">65,000 illegals<\/a> could arrive via the Channel by the end of the year, more than double the previous record set last year of 28,526.<\/p>\n<p>The increased flood of migrants into the country comes as Prime Minister Boris Johnson is facing widespread criticism and potential legal challenges from left-wing activists and institutions over his plan to ship illegal boat migrants to Rwanda to have their asylum applications assessed.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>The plan will supposedly involve all adult migrant men who arrive in the country by illegally crossing the English Channel being flown to the East African nation in the hopes that it will serve as a deterrent for people trying to use the route to enter the UK.

outrage among the left in Britain and internationally, Johnson\u2019s scheme has also faced criticism from the right, with Brexit leader Nigel Farage <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/europe\/2022\/04\/14\/aint-gonna-work-uk-to-sign-deal-to-house-boat-migrants-in-rwanda\/\">declaring<\/a> that it \u201caint gonna work,\u201d predicting that any attempts to send migrants to Rwanda will be bogged down by legal challenges at the European Court of Human Rights, which despite leaving the European Union, the Mr Johnson\u2019s government has so far failed to free itself from.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Farage argued that while the Rwanda plan may offer a short-term deterrent, the only solution to solve the problem in the long-term will be to immediately send the boats back to the beaches of France.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, the prime minister\u2019s plan has already seen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/europe\/2022\/04\/16\/bojo-braces-for-clash-with-army-of-politically-motivated-lawyers-over-migrant-relocations\/\">left-wing activist lawyers<\/a>, civil servants within his own government, and even the United Nations line up potential challenges to the scheme.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>Gillian Triggs, of the UN\u2019s refugee agency, claimed that flying illegal migrants to Rwanda would represent an \u201cegregious breach of international law and refugee law and human rights law\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>While she admitted that such measures \u201ccan be effective,\u201d Triggs <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/europe\/2022\/04\/17\/lawyers-civil-servants-united-nations-establishment-lines-up-to-kill-uk-migration-deterrent-plan\/\">said<\/a> that her agency will be pressuring the UK government to opt for \u201cmore\u00a0legally effective ways of achieving the same outcome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr Johnson, for his part, has acknowledged that his government will face significant pushback, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/europe\/2022\/04\/16\/bojo-braces-for-clash-with-army-of-politically-motivated-lawyers-over-migrant-relocations\/\">vowed<\/a> to \u201cdo whatever it takes to\u00a0deliver this new approach initially within the limits of the existing legal and constitutional frameworks,\u201d and to make legal reforms if necessary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf this country is seen as a soft touch for illegal migration by some of our partners, it is precisely because we have such a formidable army of politically motivated lawyers who, for years, have made it their business to thwart removals and frustrate the Government,\u201d Johnson said.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p
