Is France Correct?

France sees Channel migrant deaths as a problem of Britain's making

Many in France deeply resent the way their own lives have been transformed by a crisis they see as British-made.

No.
One thing I read was that France wants migrants to apply in France for asylum in the UK. Fair enough, until their application is turned down, then what happens?

 

[securespark]

What will happen?

And what should happen instead?

And what should happen instead?

Snap. It sounds like a moan and no solution to me. Concern about finding bodies - interesting choice.

Fact is many countries have the same problem with the same basic part hidden background problem. Shear probable numbers if easy routes were created near the sources. Millions of people in camps.

France
In 2023, 167,432 people registered as international protection applicants in France (compared to 156,455 in 2022). The main countries of origin were Afghanistan, Türkiye, Guinea, Côte d'Ivoire and Bangladesh. The Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons (OFPRA) reported 142,500 applications in 2023.24 May 2024
In 2023, Germany (334 000) remained the leading destination of asylum seekers in the EU+, receiving nearly a third of all applications. In fact, Germany received more applications than France (167 000) and Spain (162 000) combined. Italy (136 000) also featured prominently in the asylum landscape.
UK There were 67,337 asylum applications (relating to 84,425 people) in the UK in 2023, 17% lower than the number of applications in 2022 (81,130 applications, relating to 99,939 people). As shown in figure 1, the latest number of applications is 20% lower than the previous peak in 2002 (84,132 applications)
Boats figure in all. In that case the arrivals are generally known. I recently read that the EU has 2,000km of fence. They intend to check road entry far more thoroughly. Should start in Nov.
To date, the European Union has approximately 67,571 km of coastline and 14,647 km of land borders that it shares with twenty-one third countries.

Not sure of the source of the above but it excludes the authorised schemes. Don’t fall for the BS that france takes more asylum seekers than the U.K.

France hadn’t got a clue how many they have as they can walk over borders unchecked throughout most of mainland Europe

[ReganAndCarter]

As said before, liberals and numbers/limits. They have not a clue.

 

[ReganAndCarter]

Yes, France is right. If we didn't attract international spongers with 4* hotels, benefits, free health treatment, free dental treatment, Two Tier's amnesty, etc, etc, etc - they wouldn't be in France, in The Channel or over here.

Too many people in UK and on here fall for the migrants' pathetic bs sob stories. They're the ones to blame for this crisis and any deaths in The Channel. If you like them so much, put your money where your mouth is. Open your home and wallet to them. See how well that goes. No? Thought not!

not true

How many people do we grant protection to?

Could you tell us of an 'authorised scheme' in the UK?

In other words, is there a legal way to claim asylum before getting to the UK by other means?

Under international law, anyone has the right to apply for asylum in any country that has signed the 1951 Convention

Possibly two ways of reading that, I only see one.

How many of your close relatives would you deny a helping hand if their need was great?

I know you've argued they should be shot on the beaches, or their boats pushed back, before now.

How would you deal with them if they were close relatives?

 

[Mrs Ten Names]

reganandcarter doing why he does best, demonstrating his intense racism and inciting hatred against ethnic minorities.

Racists aren't born, they're made, and molded by their parents.
