A common political policy has been hammered out between UK Home Secretary Theresa May and French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve in a bid to end the crisis created at the Channel Tunnel by migrants trying to reach England illegally.
The chaos at Calais, creating severe disruption at peak holiday time in and around southern English ports prompted one newspaper headline, “Send in the Army”. The local economy is hemorrhaging around 1.5 million euros per day. The political solution is somewhat different.
“We have agreed today that we will work together to return migrants, particularly to West Africa, to ensure that people see that making this journey does not lead to them coming to Europe and being able to settle in Europe,” Theresa May told reporters.
“Seventy percent of people who tried to enter the European Union, from the beginning of 2015 are irregular economic migrants. They do not have the right to stay in Europe,” added French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve.
