Calais migrant crisis: UK police 'should help'

Why should the UK police get involved? The French need to get their finger out and deal with the issue though I suspect it suits them not to try too hard.

I don't get why the French aren't rounding them up and deporting them. Isn't that what we do when/if they get here.

Tell them the police are busy catching motorists but we could deploy the army now it's back from Afghanistan as long as they pay for the deployment.

I don't see how poor, persecuted, displaced people find the money to travel half way around the world by passing several safe haven countries on the way to claim asylum in the UK, this is a problem that the EU and UN should be paying to solve.

These people need to be stopped at source and funding put into place to help them in their own countries or neighbouring countries, it will only get worse if all those that have money and get up and go / intelligence come to the UK so draining their own countries of money and man power then burdening our society and resources.

Round em up and send them back to some holding camp like guantanamo and publicise it in the problem countries, once word gets out they will stop coming.

If they wait until they get to the country they like economically, they aren't asylum seekers.

Most of them are young men in their 20's/30's; unwanted people (probably) with no families tieing them to the homelands, they are opportunists seeking a better life, they see what we have and think "I'll have my slice". I can't blame them but my life would be better without so many of the coming here.

also they hardly pay for an "economy" ticket - they are cynically and ruthlessly "trafficked" by criminal gangs that simply treat them as meat cargo

What if they want to come here because we're a decent, largely tolerant country with opportunities?

Some people have lives most of us could barely imagine and they sometimes ask us for help. I think we should help.

That is one thing I've always wondered about. Not so much the money side of things, but how exactly you get into the UK without going through any other country at all. Are there really direct air, land, and sea routes, to the UK from these places, where you don't stop at a single country en-route?

Oh, you won't qualify under certain criteria, tough, you cannot come in. I'm a little funny about this kind of thing as I have followed the process to gain entry to Canada, so when people try and side-step the processes in place, it annoys me.

I been stuck in them queues going into the port,truck drivers have been asking for a while now for something to be done.Hundreds of immigrants walking around like in the video clip everyday,and is no where to go.
One of our drivers got attacked by six of them and caused £4000.00 damage to the truck.
And if you get caught with illiegals driver is find £2000.00 soon will be rising £3000.00 and what you meant to do when is plague of them at the port everday trying to climb on.
Only thing is in most cases if have done your security checks TIR cord completed security form maybe not be slapped with a fine just a six hour wait while you get interviewed etc.
Alot of us international drivers have started filming going into the port and posting in you tube,because we all sick of it

At the screening interview the authorities will decide if another country, not the UK, may be responsible for considering your asylum application. For example, this may be because you travelled through another country where the UKBA thinks you could have applied for asylum.


From here:
http://www.refugeecouncil.org.uk/***...12_English.pdf

I think this may relate to the Dublin II regulation: http://europa.eu/legislation_summari.../l33153_en.htm

Now I don't see it specifically stating you need to register in the first country you come to, however, to get to the UK by any other method than a direct route, you likely will have illegally entered the border of another country, and as such, that may well be where the claim needs to be made.

I get that. So what "process" does a schoolgirl from northwestern Nigeria follow? Or a gay man in Afghanistan? Or a Christian in IS controlled Syria? Or a Shia Muslim in IS controlled Iraq? What do they do exactly? Go to the local asylum office and fill out form 46c and then wait expectantly for their application to be "processed"? These people don't have the luxuries afforded to us in the west; they're often desperate and undertake desperate acts to get away from terrible persecution and they come to us for help. We help them and of that I'm proud.

There are two main reasons they are camped in Calais, trying to get here.

1) They speak English, or at least are more likely to than French, German, Spanish, Italian etc....

2) In most, if not all, other EU countries you have to have worked for a period of time to qualify for benefits. For example, in France it is 6 months. Oh and the free healthcare.

The mayor of Calais was over here last week, talking to MPs, explaining that if we did not have such an easy and lucrative benefits culture they would not be trying to get here, instead of elsewhere, and that as such we were to blame for the situation, and should contribute to dealing with the problem.

Thus, NOT the UK, unless they come in by air, or are claiming asylum from Ireland, France etc?

And he's partly right..what we really need is a set of politicians with gonads.

End of.

Instead of sending the Army to fight Ebola in Africa how about sending them to Calais for some target practice?

I reckon the 'asylum seekers' would soon get the message.
