MIGRANT CROSSINGS TO UK
If you were the leader of a country's elected government and you were in a situation where thousands of migrants were crossing a stretch of water to gain access to your country without any legal processing and possibly including criminals and potential terrorists. If this situation had existed for many months and resulted in the migrants receiving board and lodging in 4 star hotels, and even adapting disused army camps to house the people. If the estimated total waiting processing was around150 000 and rising, and the cost to the taxpayers was in the millions. Would you be a bit annoyed?
That's the situation in the UK and despite the prime minister promising to stop the boat crossings, nothing has happened.
The simple solution is to pick up the people in the English channel and return them to the French coast from where they departed and having paid people smugglers for the journey.
Too simple, but presumably the PM doesn't wish to upset the French President.

We spend 1.5 Billion dollars for this illegal crossing.
They get free housing, free food, free medical/dental, free money, now the employers are hiring them and leave out the American citizens.
Yeah for America.
Sunak promised to stop the boats. No success yet. In fact, more crossing.
Refugees in your part of the world has been a problem due to the western wars that have been waged for the last 20 odd years Crown, cause the problem now we wait for a solution...

People fleeing their countries due to war or human rights issues is a different matter in my opinion...
That's the problem with the political parties here. The labour opposition won't be any stronger. Starmer is weak and changes his mind every few minutes. What has been required for a long time is a party that holds the views of the majority and shows strength and decisive action and not be afraid of the minority groups who oppose any action that prevents illegal migration.
£500,000 per day.
The high living standard for western system countries can't continue with the way the US keeps printing money and running up debt, it can be blamed on migrants, refugees or police brutality but the real problem is debt and devaluing currencies...
If i was the French president i would let them go to England on an agreed day.
It is a bit stupid to keep them on French soil if they don't want to be there and want to leave.
Explain them the procedures and get the caravan moving.
But you'll need to handle like 1000 a day to get it done in a year.
The housing, almost all hotels are 4 stars. Tents don't improve the safety.
The European solution seems to be to ship them more East to Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland and more.
In my opinion, we need to be able to say no.
Do a DNA test, hold them accountable for charges if they are not in danger,
Any criminal activity or lying at the border will be an instant decline.
And ban people from entering for a decennia in case of certain breaches.
Plus send people back home or the nearest safe airport + taxi fare.
And make coming to Europe a more temporary thing.
