PRITI Patel has accused Labour of siding with people traffickers by blocking new immigration laws.
The Home Secretary warns it may lead to hundreds more people suffering, or drowning in small boats in the Channel.

Ms Patel spelled out the consequences of her flagship Nationality and Borders Bill failing to become law in a letter to Shadow Home Secretary Nick Thomas-Symonds.
She said Labour failed to recognise that strengthening borders and "smashing dangerous people- smuggling gangs" would reinforce Britain's "proud history" of giving sanctuary to those facing tyranny, oppression or war.
She wrote: "Your vote tells your constituents you are prioritising criminality over their justified concerns. I would urge you to reconsider."
Ms Patel said the Bill would improve support for refugees, crack down on modern slavery and make it harder for terrorists to arrive.

It would also increase the punishment for people smugglers and make it easier to swiftly remove those who enter the UK illegally.
A record 853 migrants made it to Britain in small boats on Wednesday, but three died during the week.
One senior MP said: "Boris needs an old hand who's been around the block a few times and is able to tell him when he is about to do something stupid."
The warnings came as Tories seethed at being ordered to vote to rip up the Commons disciplinary system to save Mr Paterson from a 30-day suspension, only for the PM to stage a U-turn.
Last week's turmoil — Mr Johnson's 43rd U-turn in under two years — has caused deepening alarm among his closest supporters.
One said: "No10 is full of yes men who simply nod at every suggestion rather than say, 'Hold on a minute — this is bonkers'."
Another ally said: "It really is getting serious when John Major, perhaps one of the worst Prime Ministers in living memory, is openly taking a pot shot at us."
Sir John, who was in No10 at the height of Tory sleaze in the 1990s, said BoJo's regime was "politically corrupt" over the way it treats Parliament.
Ex-children's minister Tim Loughton, 59, has been touted as an ideal enforcer.
Lord Hague, John Whittingdale, Sir Michael Fallon, Nicholas Soames and Damian Green are also possibles.

Boris Johnson met Mr Macron last weekend in Rome at the G20 to discuss the ongoing dispute over permits for fishing boats.
The PM said he had been puzzled by a letter written by the French PM Jean Castex saying Britain must understand that it "causes more damage to leave the EU than to stay in it".
But Mr Zemmour, yet to officially declare he will run in the presidential race next April, also hit out at a lack of urgency over immigration.
He said in Lyon on Friday: "The Brexit vote was foremost a vote against immigration.
"In France, we would have had the same result in a vote — not so much supporting 'Frexit' but against immigration.
"But France should deal with its own problems."
Mr Zemmour has criminal convictions for spreading hatred against minorities and is frequently described as the French Donald Trump.
