The Labour MP says the government does not have "full control" of the UK's borders.
It's after anti-immigration protests in Dover and Portsmouth over the weekend. A boat carrying 'approximately 120 people' was intercepted near the Isle of Wight and brought to a marina in Portsmouth, the government says.
