Whoa, does this mean war?  The frogs say Britain has an ‘inhumane’ immigration policy.

 

1. Where to begin with this one? I would say it is somewhat sloppy journalism and I have my doubts that a French politician would actually be so stupid as to say this…
   

   “So why are the British now rejecting them while at the same time they’re welcoming thousands of citizens from eastern Europe and in particular from Poland?

   He must be aware that Eastern Europe has by and large become part of the EU and Britain (nor France) can legally exclude these people even when they have criminal records.

   I worked for UK immigration when Sangatte was still open. Here the French had a camp which housed a couple of thousand illegal immigrants who were trying to get to Britain. Under French and EU law they should have been fingerprinted, had their asylum claim investigated and either given asylum or returned to their country of origin. The majority of the people were from Iraq, Iran and Afganistan with the rest made up from Somalia, Eritrea and various third world shitholes. The French government turned a blind eye to the presence of these people and every night we would catch them trying to sneak into England via the Channel Tunnel. Eventually the tunnel operators grew tired of paying fines and beefed up security. Then the British government did a deal with the French to close the camp. Basically the British government caved in and let these low lifes come to Britain and claim welfare.

   After that the problem didn’t go away it just moved north a few miles to Calais. The next stage was the British government putting immigration officers in Calais where they have stopped thousands of would be immigrants. This costs the government millions but is cheaper than all the bullshit bogus asylum claims which when all is said and done result in economic migrants being allowed to stay in Britain.

   The French should act like men and kick these people back where they came from. That would stop the problem, at the same time Britain should not pay welfare to asylum seekers and deport all those who have been judged to be bogus (ie the vast majority.) That however wold entail withdrawing from the Human rights Act which is a Labour sacred cow and withdrawal from the UN Human Rights convention. No one in the British government has the balls to do this. So the problem will remain.

2. Let me ask a few dumb questions here.  I can understand well enough that within Europe people can move around pretty much at will.  I can understand that England doesn’t want bogus asylum seekers and won’t accept them.  The French don’t want them either or so they say.  So why do the French let these people into France and then say:

   “It’s up to Great Britain to find a dignified and humane solution to a problem which solely concerns it.”

   The French took in illegal immigrants, it’s a French problem.  If they didn’t want them, why take them in.  Since they were dumb enough to let them into France, why are they blaming the British?

   If the 3rd World wants to live in civilized society, instead of taking them into European countries, let’s bring back colonialism so that the 3rd World can be taught how to behave in a civilized manner.  Why not build up the 3rd World instead of destroying the 1st World?
