Begin and end at Calais

Talking of Labour's appalling record on immigration and asylum, the Calais crisis continues (h/t Alan):

FRANCE last night admitted it was fighting a losing battle against illegal migrants – and demanded Britain should open its doors to them.

A week after being forced from their shanty town, the asylum seekers were back, still seeking a passage to the UK. last night Calais mayor Natacha Bouchard said the Channel port would remain an immigrant dumping ground until Britain opened its borders and stopped asking France to do its dirty work.

Odd way of looking at it. These illegals are in France because they know Britain offers the most generous WELFARE provisions around. Under Labour we have become global welfare central.

These immigrants know that once they get it to the UK, chances are they will be allowed to stay. The French have NO right to ask us to take these people in but by the same token culpability lies with our Government for firstly allowing porous borders and secondly providing the welfare that these people seek out. Unemployment is SOARING in Britain and yet the tsunami of inward immigration continues. It's easy to see why. We need to enforce our borders, we need to throw out all illegals, and above all we need to axe the Welfare benefits that are the big magnet for these people.

Unemployment is SOARING in Britain and yet the tsunami of inward immigration continues. It's easy to see why. We need to enforce our borders, we need to throw out all illegals, and above all we need to axe the Welfare benefits that are the big magnet for these people.

I agree 100%. However, there isn't a single mainstream party in the UK that will even talk about the probleme, let alone actually DO someting about it. The millions of migrants fleeing failed Third World states and attempting to break into the First World countries is THE story of our times and possibly the greatest threat we've faced since the fall of Rome, and yet no one will talk about it....except within the context of "cultural enrichment" and ethnic restuarants.
