A group of 20 people - including 18 Albanian migrants and two children - were rescued from an inflatable boat off the coast of Kent on Sunday.
Two Britons are among those being held.
John Vine, ex-chief inspector of borders and immigration, said there was an "equal chance" of migrants drowning in the Channel as in the Mediterranean.
The UK coastguard said it was called just before midnight on Saturday to an incident off the coastal village of Dymchurch.
Those on board the boat reportedly alerted their families in Calais after their inflatable boat started taking in water.
A Home Office spokesman confirmed a woman and two children were among those on the inflatable boat. He said a second vessel - linked to the incident - was also discovered on the beach at Dymchurch.
