BBC News - Calais mayor warns of blockade over illegal migration

It seems the Frogs want us Brits to do more about the massive mobs of illegals trying to get over the channel.

Obvious points that stand out to me are:-

1- ON French soil illegally
2- They have no rights to stay in the EU
3- The Brits already give some cash to help the Frogs deal with the issue

Surely it begs the question why don't the Frogs just deport the lot of them since they've been identified and clearly don't belong.
Any seeking asylum should surely be trying for that at their port of entry so the ones that have legged it to Calais are obviously migrating for financial reasons.

they don't want to spend a fortune deporting them when they can just usher them over the sea to the UK.

We should just send a warship over filled with Calais asylum seekers that got through and drop them off on a Normandy beach.

Make it a competition. It's really difficult to get across, so give everyone a number, and the first 100 to make it to the top of the Shard each month get a five year work visa with a chance for citizenship at the end. Just the sort of enterprising folk we could do with.

You can't blame them for trying to get to Tower Hamlets. Just like home but with benefits included. They even have sharia law

[VectraMan]

To be fair to France and the people of Calais in particular, it's not really their fault they happen to be the closest place to Britain.

I think if I were an immigrant, having got to France I'd just stay in France. Better to be poor in a socialist country, plus better food/weather/wine/healthcare etc. etc.

Or Rotherham...

Ah yes, but the streets of France aren't paved with gold.

You just reminded me off the ones who were caught trying to escape from Britain.

I have heard reports of illegals being returned in handcuffs by gendarmes to the previous country they passed through.

The amount of racism I have seen in France shocked me.

The French just want shot of them, they don't care where they go.

[BrilloPad]

Can't we just fly them all to Syria?
