"Unofficial" Population Policies?

The video embedded above raises inchoate questions about unofficial or quasi-official UK and French pilicies on migrants. On the arrival of the super-dinghy in Portsmouth that spurred anti-migrant demonstrations over the weekend, Grannyopterix says at 4:20,

The important thing for a non-Brit to know, any Brit who has taken a ship between Dover and France knows that this neck of water is where the Atlantic and the North Sea bump into each other. It is notoriously rough and dangerous water. And this dinghy went from here, down here, along here, and up there. That's a long journey, and it's not like the short route, is it? . . . It would have hnad to have been escorted. Apparently it took ten hours for that dinghy to get from here to there. That requires a certain amount of planning and support, I'd say.

OK, so, they went from Gravelines to Portsmouth, and started off by the French police. Now, after that, when they landed in Portsmouth, there was this entire line of buses waiting to ship them out. That again, logistics, planning, you could see this was a well-coordinated operation. I have also read that there were tents there full of new clothes, pajamas, shoes, other necesssary equipment for people who'd jst come and were probably rathner damp by that time.

OK, so these buses were waiting for them, the buses left Portsmouth with apparently a police escort, as you can see, and this was all done very late at night. . . and then they arrived at this hotel in London and unloaded. Apparently there were about ten or 15 women in that crew, but as you can see, most of the people coming off there appear to be, well, fighting-age young men.

At least officially, according to the House of Commons Library,

The UK and France deploy resources to detect and disrupt movements of migrants, boats and engine parts, and to prevent them from coming together at the coastline. Law enforcement tactics include conducting checks at road and transport connections, using roadblocks and buoys in waterways, destroying boats near crossing points, and carrying out beach and coastal patrols. Law enforcement extensively uses surveillance technology including drones and thermal imaging cameras.

Actions to deter unauthorised migrants from travelling to coastal areas or staying in northern France include measures to prevent informal living areas being established, rolling eviction operations and a significant police presence in the area.

Nevertheless, in practice, the embarkation into this particular mega-dinghy at Gravelines appears to have been facilitated by Franch police. News reports say 140 migrants were in the dinghy, which reflects the recent change in strategy by traffickers to increase the size of the boats. Buit it's difficult not to surmise that that change in trafickers' strategy is accompanied by much geater tacit cooperation by official and quasi-official actors in the UK and France; the dinghy was escorted over its full voyage across the channel:

FRENCH rescue boats and two helicopters helped a mega-dinghy carrying 140 migrants cross the Channel to a UK beach yesterday.

Five rescue boats escorted the inflatable as it completed the unprecedented 70-mile English Channel crossing on Sunday.

The “safety operation” involved handing out lifejackets to everyone on board, including 20 women and eight “very young children”.

The flimsy inflatable reached Eastney beach, in Portsmouth, intact on Sunday afternoon, with nobody being injured after 14 hours at sea.

This parallels another question that's come up in the Canadian trade dispute: Prime Minister Carney insists he was protecting Francophone Canada by rejecting the recent trade agreement -- but observers have made the point that Canadian immigration policy, which involves widespread immigration from India, threatens to flood out Francophone Canada. The Century Initiative, a project with widespread support from the Laurentian Elite, aims to increase the population of Canada, currently 41 million, to, 100 million by 2100. While it has not been passed by the Canadian parliament, current immigration policy there seems generally consistent with it.

In effect, with the native birth rate stable but current residents leaving, this would add 60 millon migrants from India to the current population of 41 million, with roughly 9 million whose first language is French. This would create a far larger language group whose primary language is Hindi or Punjabi, although Canadian Charte Rights (a weaker version of the US Bill of Rights) currently recognize only English and French as official languages.

If the Century Intiative is implemented, oficially or not, it would simply redefine Canada -- population of Indian heritage would be 60% of the country, certainly overwhelming the French and at least out-voting English speakers. At least in theory, it would require Ottawa to rewrite the Charter Rights, equivalent to a US constitutional amendment, but it would require only a majority in parliament. What's behind this? What's behind the quasi-official encouragement of illegal migration in the UK? Prime Minister Burnham is officially against it:

Andy Burnham will begin the process of courting European leaders when he welcomes Emmanuel Macron as the first foreign head of state to visit him in Downing Street.

The prime minister will meet the French president at No 10 on Thursday as he looks to make inroads on a number of foreign policy objectives, including curbing irregular migration and sealing a new deal with the EU.

. . . Burnham said in a statement on Wednesday: “The progress we have seen this summer [in bringing down the number of small boat crossings] shows what can be achieved when the UK and France work together.

“But I am clear that we cannot be complacent. Smuggling gangs are constantly adapting their tactics, and the UK and France need to respond quickly and stay one step ahead of the criminals facilitating the dangerous crossings.

“The small boats crisis is a shared European challenge, and no country can solve it alone. Working with France and our international partners, we will restore order and control to our borders and prevent smugglers exploiting vulnerable migrants.”

But on the ground, UK and French authorities appear to be not just facilitating, but working fully hand-in-glove with, migrant traffickers and their new policy of using mega-dinghies to regularize migration across the Channel. But neither the UK nor the Canadian parliament is willing to go on record making this level of migration official policy. Why not?
