LONDON (Reuters) - A new law to crack down on migrants arriving in Britain in small boats from Europe across the English Channel will be unveiled on Tuesday, with a senior minister saying "enough is enough", the Sun on Sunday newspaper reported.

The British government has been promising to step up action to tackle the issue after the numbers making the perilous crossing soared to more than 45,000 last year.
