Calais migrants: A never-ending crisis? • FRANCE 24 English

Six years ago, Calais's infamous Jungle migrant camp was demolished by French police. Today, the camp itself has gone, but the migrants and the smugglers who profit from them remain. In fact, they are more numerous than ever before, with a record number of people attempting to cross the Channel in August 2022. The situation is putting a strain on relations between France and the United Kingdom.

People have to learn that criminals comming in to your country do not any rights to be looked after

[caractacus]

I find it incredible that the French can’t stop for the flow of migrants with the money we pay them. Why can’t the immigrants claim asylum in France. Or in Morocco for that matter.

[harveyking]

people should stay in their own countries and make their own country great

Low birthrate and high migrant influx.
Two catalysts for irreversible demographic shift.
Sooner you open eyes the better

Thank you France, you don’t police your shores so we have over a million people a year entering a country that can barely deal with the people in it already.

[lewisjackson]

This is never gone end we don’t want them coming In our country and the government are not doing nothing about it

[jeanlind]

It’s all about benefits. France blame Britain as migrants know they will receive best benefits in UK. If we stop this it will gradually stop people smugglers & this insane dash from up to 60, 000 per day across channel in suicidal overcrowded dinghies.

the french are doing nothing they want them gone from there shores

[gray]

the goverment needs to change the laws and send them back as soon as they get here

[lesleycooper]

No. In hopes of a FREE LIFE. Payed for by us 💥💥💥💥💥

[chucks]

If they die its their own fault Official figures of arrivals forgetting those not arriving at Dover but at other coastal areas

[Petra-hbkn]

British blaming France for not doing enough..and France is blaming UK for giving them everything after they arrive...

[lorrainemoore]

If France would house them we wouldn’t have this problem

[elynborjasen]

Slash the boats beyond repair, ending the problem.

[helendudden]

There are 30 year housing waiting lists in the UK, shortage of medical treatment. I would love to live in France, I know some English that have moved there. Buying homes and working, Brexitt or not. There is not a joint effort to resolve the issue.

[DavidLee-rxuo]

If they can't make it in France theres a problem-its them.

[gray]

france needs to stop them comeing in to france then we wont have a problem

[conradgaarder]

What can you conclude about a people who, when reporting on this situation, always begin with “it’s a dangerous journey?”
You conclude that Europeans are psychologically unprepared to save themselves.

This Sudanese man seems to be a rich man . He has thousands of Euros to pay out .

[lightningspirit]

These economic refugees should all be sent out on a safe auto pilot, well equipped ship where they can sail the seven seas and live upon the ocean as sea gypsys, harvesting the bounty of the oceans I'm sure they would do well for themselves, and be safe from terrestrial dangers.
