I have a random question.........
I was just watching an episode of UK Border Force on Sky2, which was quite interesting. Basically the immigration lot have guys based in France who check the trucks for illegal immigrants before they travel on to the UK.
Anyone who does not have a passport (they all tend to hide/dispose of them) and is hidden in a truck is removed as they are not allowed into the UK. Simples. When they are caught the French Police escort them off the site. Here is the question, we (as an EU country) are not allowing them entry, how come the French simply kick them out of the ferry terminal and don't deport them as surely they have commited an immigration offence by being in France (another EU country) in the first place?
I keep reading about all of the problems the French are having with the vast numbers of illegals hanging around in Calais trying to get to the UK, but short of building camps to house them they don't appear to do anything else.
Does anyone know why this is?
