The problem is they're not even paying smugglers, the people smuggler narrative is pretty weak. Foreign NGOs make up the bulk of the problem because they bring these migrants on their large boats after 'rescuing' them in international waters when they're not even that far off the coastline. When it comes to the British channel it's a bit more local but it's the fucking British and French navies colluding with each other to bring the migrants to the UK. That's as far as I understand it, the dinghies are just a convenient prop piece for cameras to show off for normies how 'desperate' they are.
