Why should the French care? They don’t want them to be a burden on their country. We are signatories to the United Nations Convention on Human Rights and while that is the case, we cannot just deport people, regardless of whether they arrived legally or illegally. Long term, it is unsustainable and as climate change renders large parts of Africa uninhabitable, there could potentially be millions of people heading North. It’s obvious that we aren’t going to fix the climate crisis anytime soon, so sooner or later, we will have to withdraw from existing migrant and refugee agreements; sounds harsh but surely inevitable. Interestingly, though, the largest number of cross channel boat people are Albanian, a significant number are probably criminals! The government needs to get a grip, and soon!
