I am mystified as to why our illegal immigrants are not happy once they get to France, a safe and pleassant country to reside in as many English people find
Many thanks for your attention Brian. France takes hundreds of thousands more migrants than we do, who settle there. Of those a tiny minority want to continue to the UK. France is a much bigger country than us, but we should take our fair share (if only there was some kind of pan-European federation of countries in which we could negotiate this?). The motives of the small minority that want to come here range from historic colonial connections, joining family, that they speak English and that the UK is more decent to its migrants than France. The solution must be in processing their applications quickly through safe routes (as well as addressing why they have fled their countries of origin in the first place).
