The Reform administration says Kent is "at the forefront of a small-boat invasion".
The Reform UK leadership of Kent County Council (KCC) is seeking to declare an "illegal migration emergency" in the county.
A motion will be debated at a full council meeting on Thursday after the political group said Kent was at the forefront of a small boat "invasion" which was putting a strain on its public services and finances.
Opposition politicians have accused the party of scaremongering.
The Home Office said it had brought in a "raft of tough new measures to make the UK a less attractive place for illegal migrants" and it "would not stop until migration was under control again".
