It is often said we need immigration to this country, I wonder how many Doctors, Nurses, entrepreneurs etc are among this lot?

/// Sixteen-year-old Eritrean girls Almas and Halan told the Daily Mail they had taken months to reach Calais from their homeland. ///

/// ‘We both want to learn, to study commercial sciences in England,’ said Almas. ///

What about doing their studying in France, why do they need to come specifically to England?

They probably think they can depend on the kindness of strangers.

/// it sounds easy but where do they get sent back to if they have no passports? ///

Regardless of whether or not they throw their papers into the sea, I would have thought in our case it would be easy to send them back from whence they came, that being France.

AOG once an illegal immigrant reaches the UK and gets actually inside the country , not just over the border, the best way to avoid deportation is for them to destroy all their identity / travel documents. If they cannot be identified and their country of origin established they can not be sent back.
You may not like it but it is true, you can't just stick them on the first plane out of the country. No one would accept them.

France won't have them, they are pretty upfront with the migrants, banning the burqa etc,. I don't blame them either, it is a very depressing picture of all those people wanting to invade your country illegally peacefully or otherwise. Migration on this scale is causing problems. The EU's policy of free movement among the states is allowed but this is ridiculous. The bona-fide doctor or professional in any field wouldn't come in by the back door like this. The sooner we have a strict policy of entry into the UK the better.

I am primary on about those who stow away in lorries etc in Calais or arrived by boat from across the Channel, then it is obvious they have come from France.

[boxtops]

Absolutely, AOG - we know their port of origin. Same if they stow on a plane - we know where they hopped on.

[EDDIE51]

AOG if for example a stowaway is found on a truck that has come over from France and they have no identification papers , which is normally the case, they can not be sent back to France, firstly there is no PROOF as to who they are or that they have come from France,( they could have got on the truck in Dover for example) and secondly France will not accept them and just turn them back here leaving us to pay the fare both ways.
There are currently several 1,000 people from various Asian nations living in England who wish to go back home. But as they destroyed their identification papers as soon as they got here they are stuck here. Their home nations will not issue new passports or travel documents as they can not PROVE who they are or what country they come from. It is a classic case of 'Catch 22', they destroy their ID to avoid being sent back against their will but when they WANT to go back the lack of ID prevents that as well.
