UK Border Force has intercepted two more boats thought to be carrying more than 20 migrants across the Channel, after a number of attempted crossings last week.
A Home Office spokesman confirmed they are currently dealing with two small ongoing small boat incidents off the Kent coast.
It comes after more than 80 migrants arrived last week, as Dover MP Charlie Elphicke warned the situation is descending into a 'summer of chaos' as people were rescued off the Kent and Sussex seaside towns of Deal, Dover, Rye and Hastings.
Border Force officers intercepted the first boat attempting to cross the Dover Strait on Thursday last week at around 4am and brought it back to Dover.
