Sorry, Hugh, have to disagree there. What is wrong with describing the migrants invading Europe as 'hordes'? The dictionary definition (Collins) defines a horde as 'a vast crowd; throng; mob'.
The word does also carry an alternative meaning (no 4 in the list): 'a large moving mass of animals, especially insects'. Clearly, that is not the meaning that those referring to 'hordes of migrants' intended, but it is the way that certain groups of people who would want an open door for everyone in the world choose to interpret it in an effort to demonise those who disagree with them.

Despite the efforts of some to get to the UK, we had just 5% of the 650,000 asylum applications in 2017. By contrast, 30% were in Germany, 20% per cent in Italy and 14% in France. https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/as...visualisations |
There are already procedures in place to try and deal with the road & train routes. The sea crossing method is more difficult to deal with.

They only claim asylum in this country once they are caught being here illegally. Up until that point they are here illegally and not in any figures.
