Mr Anderson's comments also come after two people died trying to cross the Channel in a small boat.
Around 50 migrants were rescued from the boat by a helicopter before being returned to French waters.
French officials will investigate the deaths.
In 2024, 18,342 migrants have arrived in the UK so far – a 13 percent increase from the same point last year.

His Government recently warned that the crisis could get worse before it improves.
A Government spokesperson told the Mail: "We know this summer is a challenging time and we expect to see increases before we see improvements in line with that.
"We know that it's in these months that criminal gangs seek to exploit people, taking ever more dangerous tactics and approaches. That's why it's vital that we work to smash the gangs responsible for that and who are risking lives in the Channel."
