Illegal border entrance – an opening for terror

France calls for British cooperation over Calais migrant crisis.

Britain should share responsibility for processing the asylum applications of thousands of migrants at a camp near Calais, according to a French interior ministry report.

Israeli security experts told I-HLS that while most illegals trying to get into Europe are just desperate people looking for work, the uncontrolled flood is “a good cover for terror organizations like ISIS to send its people in”.

According to the Guardian , the report, which is critical of the lack of cooperation between the French and British border authorities, was presented to French interior minister, Bernard Cazeneuve, before he met his British counterpart, Theresa May, in Paris on Thursday for talks about the migrant crisis.

The scale of the problem was highlighted last week when scores of migrants were seen trying to stow away on queuing lorries bound for Britain during the first wave of a strike by French ferry workers.

The report commissioned by Cazeneuve and published on the website of the French newspaper Libaration, says secure parking areas should be set up around the port to stop migrants climbing on to lorries. It also calls for a pilot study to examine whether regulating the flow of freight traffic to Calais would help prevent illegal migration to Britain.

It calls for the UK and France to pool resources to deal with asylum applications at Calais, and suggests that Britain should be prepared to house more migrants.

The report contrasts the tight security at the ports with the lax security on the Channel tunnel, described as “random and uncoordinated”. But even at the ports it says the French and British authorities do not share information about the discovery of migrants.
