The director of well-known European haulage firm EM Rodgers has said it is the job of the Home Office and Border Force to stop migrants entering the UK, not hauliers and drivers. Speaking to BBC News, director Sarah Boyson made the comments after EM Rodgers was fined over £3,000 for unknowingly transporting 3 migrants to the Port of Calais.

In the case of EM Rodgers, the company managed to get its fine reduced to £2,400. The £1,200 fine for the driver was also waived.
Speaking to BBC News about the situation, Boyson said:
“Border Force, the Home Office – it’s their full time job to stop migrants coming in yet us, as a transport company and individual drivers, are expected to stop the migrants when all these major authorities and government departments can’t stop them – that’s crazy.”
