UnHerd, October 7, 2021
Excerpt: I read that more than 17,000 foreigners have crossed the Channel illegally into the UK from France in the first nine months of this year. Apparently this is a cause of some consternation. That’s less than three days’ worth of illegal entries at the U.S.-Mexico border under Joe Biden.
