More than 11,000 people have travelled to the UK by small boat so far this year, after a record month in June.
The group, which includes the party's deputy chairman, Lee Anderson, said reducing the number of migrants coming to the country was a key part of the party's appeal in the so-called red wall in 2019, and that the current level was having"destabilising economic and cultural consequences".
Speaking at the launch, Tory MP Miriam Cates said:"If we, as Conservatives, are to prove that we believe in democracy, that we are committed to governing for the British people, not in spite of the British people, then we must honour our promise and dramatically cut net migration before the next election."A failure to keep numbers down despite a clear mandate and repeated promises, raises deep concerns about national and cultural security and sovereignty and democracy.
But Number 10 has already ruled out some of the group's suggestions, with the PM's official spokesman saying the government was"striking the right balance" with its existing plans. The figures for June represent an increase on previous years: in June last year, 3,140 migrants arrived in the UK after crossing the Channel, up from 2,177 in 2021, 727 in 2020, 163 in 2019 and just four in June 2018.
