Since our last Migration Monitor, we've witnessed ridiculous farce turn to deep anger over the mistaken release of high profile foreign national offenders.
The Channel migrant crisis reached a shocking new milestone, passing the 38,800+ who arrived in the UK over the whole of last year.
And the 'hokey cokey' migrant, remember him! Well, he's gone, only to be quickly replaced by another.
It's little wonder then that Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is looking for a fundamental reset of the UK's policies on illegal migration and asylum.
That comes on Monday, in a major announcement, which we're being told will signal a much tougher approach towards those claiming asylum.
A recent fact-finding trip to Denmark by Home Office officials has helped shape some of the key policies Ms Mahmood is keen to introduce.
Like Labour, Denmark's current government is centre-left, yet its migration policies are among the toughest anywhere in the European Union.
It's much harder for anyone claiming asylum to get permanent residency or bring family members to Denmark.
Those fleeing a war zone are, in most cases, expected to return home once the conflict ends.
Even more controversially, asylum seekers with valuables worth more than €1,000 can have them seized to help pay for their care.
And housing estates with large migrant populations can be forced to demolish or redevelop, to ensure those areas are more representative of the wider demographic make-up of the country.
Not surprisingly, those and other stricter migration policies have rather exercised human rights activists and refugee charities in the Scandinavian country.

But taken together, they've helped bring about a near miraculous turnaround in asylum applications, dropping by almost 90 per cent over the last decade, to around 2,000 last year.
You can see how Shabana Mahmood might well be tempted by a smattering of the Danish asylum policy fairy dust herself.
But are the rest of her colleagues in government, in Parliament, in the wider Labour Party as tempted?
I don't really have to get out my crystal ball to predict a pretty big backlash amongst many within Labour, who'll feel the introduction of those policies here would be cruel and cold-hearted.
So, if the Home Secretary is serious about tackling what many see as the gaming of our asylum system in an age of mass migration, she'll need to ensure everyone, from Sir Keir Starmer down, is in the fight. That they have the backbone to stand up to the inevitable legal challenges.
Unlike Reform and now the Conservatives, Labour does not believe in leaving the European Convention on Human Rights.
Instead, Ms Mahmood believes amendments to the ECHR could help reduce the options available to the NGOs, the human rights groups and refugee charities, when it comes to challenging government policy in court.
I'm not convinced she's right. These activist groups have become highly skilled in finding loopholes and avenues within the law to ensure the best possible outcome for those they advocate on behalf of.
Amended or not, we'll still have human rights laws, determined activists and often sympathetic judges.
Denmark has clearly had an absolute determination to push through their asylum system changes.
I'm not at all convinced those in government here share that same level of commitment.
