A Sudanese migrant has told GB News host Patrick Christys that there is "no way" he will be sent back to Sudan once he makes the illegal crossing into Britain.
Awaiting the perilous journey across the English Channel at a migrant camp in Calais, France, the 28-year-old migrant explained how he had travelled from Sudan, through Italy and into France - in the hope that he can reach the UK.
During a special report for GB News, Patrick Christys described the migrant camps he has visited, declaring he "can't emphasise enough just how many people" are living in the camps, waiting to cross the Channel.
Patrick revealed that in the estimated ten camps in the area, there is "a food tent and a medical tent, some stalls and some makeshift shops", as well as a "supermarket around the corner".

Speaking to one of the migrants in the camp, he revealed that he is one of the people hoping to make his way to the UK illegally.
When asked if he is "scared" to travel to Britain in a small boat, the migrant said: "No, we don't have enough money, that's why we came here."
Pressed by Patrick on what he believes is "waiting for him in England", the migrant responded: "Language, because we don't know how to speak French, only English.
"In England, you can stay, you can understand the language, you stay with the people, it's better than the French here. Sometimes in France, you cannot get a job very fast, and you are foreign. That's why all people from Africa, black people, are just interested in England."

Revealing how he travelled "across Africa" to come to France, the migrant added that he "knows a lot of people" already in Britain.
He explained: "I've spent two months here in France, and we crossed a lot of countries when we were coming from Africa. We crossed almost three countries. When we entered Europe, we entered Italy.
"And England is better than all of them, they are the best. They were telling us here, it was the language. The language used was the only thing challenging us."
Asked about his living situation in the camp, the 28-year-old told Patrick that he is "living in a tent", and needed "€1,500" to come to the camp, where people "help you to go" to Britain.

The migrant also told GB News how he aspires to work in "construction" in Britain, and was forced to leave school in South Sudan due to the "situation" in his country.
Asked by Patrick how he would react if he was told by British authorities he would be deported, the migrant claimed there is "no way" he is going back to Sudan.
He stated: "If they tried to send me back to my country, there's no way. If they want to send me back, there's no way.
"We are talking to people who are still fighting and they are still dying."
