Anger and violence are intensifying along the coastline around Dunkirk as around 5,000 people have crossed in small boats since Sir Keir moved into Downing Street in July.
The mayor of Grand-Fort-Philippe, a popular launching point for smugglers, said locals are "deeply concerned" at the scale of the problem.
Sony Clinquart said: "The situation is turning into a guerrilla war."
Smugglers are exploiting summer weather to traffick people across the Channel, with almost 1,000 arriving in the past week alone.
And the Prime Minister is facing intensifying criticism that he is doing "nothing" and his "actions are merely encouraging the gangs and making them richer".
Reform UK deputy leader Richard Tice said: "Five thousand people have illegally entered the country since this Government was elected. Starmer's list of achievements as Prime Minister continues to outdo expectations.
"We expected failure and we are clearly getting it in spades.
Crisis
"This Government is doing nothing.
It claims to want to crack down on trafficking gangs, but its actions are encouraging the gangs and making them richer at the expense of ordinary working people in our country.
"That's 5,000 more people getting free health care, free dentistry, free housing, free bed, free board. But none of these things are free.
"Taxpayers have to pay for it.
Starmer's Labour has to get a grip. The only way to stop this is to turn back the boats and state categorically that nobody who arrives in this country illegally will ever get leave to remain."
