Why don't the frogs stop the migrants at their borders?

[R1Geezer]

They seem to be demanding we let them all in, but why did they let them get to Calias etc anyway? I've said it till I'm blue in the face, we should enforec the current EU law. FFS its' just about the only useful law in the EU and we ignore that one but obey all the loony tunes stuff, you couldn't make it up!

Why were we unable to stop the IRA going at will from Northern Ireland into the Republic?

How much shorter is that border?

How many Mexicans get illegally into the US each year despite the huge efforts on border security there?

Simple answer - policing land borders is difficult

[R1Geezer]

Ok fair enough Jake, so why is it not a French problem in Calais, they either apply for asylum in France or France finds out from whence they came and deports them back. I don't see why they are pressurising us to take them.

[jake-the-peg]

Probably because so many of them are Afghans.

The "Frogs" seem to have the idea that we might be partly to blame for the problem.

Crazy I know

[R1Geezer]

well if they know that then they can eaither apply in France or get deported back to Afganistan. Surely you are not suggesting the French only obey the rules they like jake! heaven forfend.

Some migrants get through to England despite the natural border of 21 miles of water separating England and France.

France is bordered by Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Monaco, Andorra, and Spain, with no such natural defences so it is impossible to keep out anyone determined to enter.

I'd have thought that was pretty obvious, but I'm glad I have been able to explain it to you.

[R1Geezer]

yes Gromit but why then is France not eaither deporting then or processing applications instead of mischeviously trying to get UK to solve the problem form them?

[jake-the-peg]

Not at all - I'm just trying to point out the way some elements of French Public opinion.

Le Figaro is a bit right wing but you get a fair few posts on there saying - Put them all on a Eurostar Train to Dover and let the English sort them all out!

Imagine a camp of Algerians in Dover trying to get to Calais illegally - I think you can imagine the posts on here

The French way is to refuse virtually all asylum applications whether they have merit or not. The result is that the migrants do not even apply for asylum.

It has been true over recent years that job prospects in England were far greater than in France because we have a deregulated Labour market. Business like the unregulated Labour market as it brings a ready supply of eager workers, doing unskilled jobs that the doleites won't move from their plasma TV screens to do.

[R1Geezer]

don't know why I have to go there, I'll phone them up if you like! The basic problem is that our authorities do not have the guts to deal with the problem properly. When they make it over then we send them straight back we don't accept any "application" we don't even say Hi, back they go, end of story. The frogs will then realise that they have a problem and hopefully deal with it.

Now tell me more about this "Sir Geezer" bit, has nice ring to it!

I have asked and quoted the question many times, no one has ever given me an answer as to why the whole EU cannot cooperate and apply probably the only useful law it has come up with!

[Gromit]

R1Geezer

'the only useful law it has come up with' is a bit subjective. Which law do you think is not being applied?

[R1Geezer]

the one which says that asylum seekers should apply in the first safe country, ie, hardly ever UK. If all the EU enforced it then the problem would go away.

[R1Geezer]

Alleluya! Yes zeulh a thousand times yes, now convince our bleeding Europhiles and their political mates!

Yes the law does exists they are the actual rules and they get ignored generally.
