Britain is negotiating with France and going to close the path the largest flow of illegal migrants through the English channel. About it reports Reuters.
Minister for immigration Chris Philip told reporters that the French government agreed to help the British to stop this road for illegal immigrants. In that case, if it is able to close, “the migrants there would be no reason to come to France,” said Philip. He said that Britain is ready to financially support the work of the French in that direction.
Over the past week in the waters of the Strait were detained hundreds of migrants in rubber boats, among them women and children. They come mostly from Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Africa and settle in makeshift camps on the Northern French coast. After that, they are paid representatives of organized crime for approximately £ 500 ($650) per person for organising their transportation to Britain — often in overloaded boats.
