Britain has been warned to brace itself for a new wave of illegal immigrants.

French charity C’Surs warned yesterday that more than 2,000 migrants are in the Calais area of France determined to claim asylum in the UK.

Its spokesman Father Jean-Pierre Boutoille said: “There are more than 2,000 migrants in the Calais region right now and they are all determined to get to Britain.

“You must expect them soon in Britain, because none of them want to stay in France; their dream is to start a new life in Britain.”

And he warned: “Many are ill with TB and scabies.”

Last night Immigration Minister Phil Woolas was urged carry out his promise to crack down on illegal migrants.
