I don't believe we should just open the borders, but I don't have a solution to this problem, I rarely see solutions to these problems on ATS, France has just as many free things for their citizens as the uk. Free health care generous benefit system, so I can't see why they haven't sought asylum in France. The problem is in France, so it should be the French sorting it out.

I sometimes wonder how much the British press is to blame for creating a false perception of this country to foreigners.
The mail endlessly pushes stories of people on benefits that live in mansions with free cars to the point that there are even people who live here that believe it's a common occurance.
TBH if I didn't know the reality of living here was so crap, I'd wanna come too.

Well it's nice to sit and judge these people from the comfort of a laptop and a warm house, but when you get a loaf of individuals and set up a camp called the jungle for them and call them swarms and animals. They are hardly going to be displaying their finer qualities of humanity, but seeing as it's very unlikely to happen to you or one of your own. Judge away, but when I've seen posters on here saying shoot them all I wonder who the real animals are.
