Lille, France – French authorities said more than 150 migrants trying to reach Britain had been rescued from overloaded boats in the Strait of Dover and returned to France.
The first boat had departed from the Gravelines area near Dunkirk before seeking help after a few hours at sea, with rescuers taking on 77 people who were returned to Calais, the Premar maritime authority said. The attempts to cross the Channel come as political parties in Britain campaign for a general election on July 4 in which immigration is one of the major issues.
