Article name

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

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?

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]
