The former leader of Ukip has issued a stark security threat to Britons after 800 migrants crossed the Channel on Saturday, bringing this year's total to more than 41,000.
Urging the British people and the Government to "wake up", Henry Bolton joined GB News' Dawn Neesom, ripping into Labour's migration record since their landslide win.
"The Government doesn't seem to listen," he told GB News.
"As long as the United Kingdom is an attractive destination for economic migrants, people who have no legitimate way of getting to the UK to make a bit of money will attempt to come here.
"If they need the facilitation of organised crime to do it, which they do, then there's a business for organised crime."
"This is our own doing, Dawn. And as long as the Government fails to address that one problem, then this is going to continue.
"There's a whole suite of things that they need to be doing. But ultimately, if that one keystone element of a strategy is not in place, that will continue to be a demand."
On Saturday morning, French police clashed with migrants while hundreds set sail across the English Channel for the second weekend in a row.

GB News revealed members of the gendarmerie fired tear gas and clashed with a large group of migrants as they attempted to launch a small boat from a river near Dunkirk yesterday morning.
By the end of the day, more than 800 migrants made the perilous crossing in total, Home Office provisional figures released on Sunday morning show.
The data showed 803 migrants making the illegal journey in 13 small boats, with more than 100 migrants crossing last night.
The figure marks yet another milestone for Labour with the number of migrants crossing the Channel so far this year now surpassing 41,000.

But Mr Bolton warned of a further threat, arguing that the men involved in organised crime are a "threat to public security".
He told Dawn: "There are many within their ranks who constitute a threat to public security in the United Kingdom. They are involved in organised crime. They go to work in organised crime."
"They have criminal records themselves, some of them very serious criminal records, some of them (I know from firsthand experience having when I was leading operations to deal with this sort of thing) are involved with fundamentalist and extremist and terrorist groups," he even claimed.
"We should be securing every single one of these people until such time as either we move them or they ask to go home."
Mr Bolton added: "It's time that the British Government and frankly, a good section of the British people woke up, had a bit of coffee and realised quite how naive they've been.
"We live in a bubble in the United Kingdom!"
He then took aim at Labour personally, criticising the policy which "allows people in" and then only assesses their suitability to qualify for an asylum claim afterwards.
"But the reason we're seeing men, it's not because there's a sort of Islamic army crossing the Channel, although potentially it's a recruiting ground for such a thing in other cultures that are not as socially advanced as we are, men only go out to work.
"They leave the women behind to look after the children whilst they come to the United Kingdom to make some money to send back home to wherever it is, Somalia or Afghanistan or wherever it might be.
"It doesn't matter. But that's normal in most of the world, certainly in the southern Hemisphere and in the Middle East and so on."
