(BBC) More than 1,200 migrants have made the crossing across the English Channel in small boats already in August, a record for a single month.
Eight vessels carrying 112 people were intercepted by Border Force patrols on Sunday.
On Saturday, 65 people in five boats were intercepted and brought to shore.
Clandestine Channel Threat Commander Dan O’Mahoney said: “We are determined to return those who do not have a legitimate asylum claim.”
More than 4,400 people have made the journey successfully this year, with a record number on one day during the hot weather.
