Have you ever considered that this is simply a call to end the Touquet treaty, which would mean France would have no obligation to hold refugees trying to cross in Calais? The agreement is the only thing that makes this France's problem, if France pulls out it's Britain's problem.
Ian Wilson
No, they just want to kick out your border patrols that under the current agreement are allowed to operate on French soil and stop any illegals before entering the tunnel and let you deal with the Africans only after they reach your shores, thus forcing you to make your own refugee camps and allow you to have the same kind of fun the french enjoy at the moment.
It won't work, but that is their idea.
Logan Jenkins
Who cares what France does or doesn't do? There's a massive fucking body of water between Britain and France.
Our border isn't an artificial line on a map that needs passport control. It's a physical thing.
The refugees are in Calais because they PHYSICALLY CANNOT get to the UK.
Robert Nguyen
We won't "send" the refugees, we will simply stop to prevent them from crossing the border
Currently, France is the only thing that prevents migrants from reaching Britain because of a EU border deal we have with you (in which we allow your cops to check for migrants BEFORE entering the tunnel).
If this deal is negated, Brits won't be able to check lorries until they reach British soil, and therefore a new camp will form there instead of in Calais (unless Britain sends back all of the migrants that reach their soil to Africa, but that's not legally possible)

>France is the only thing that prevents migrants from reaching Britain
I'm sure the massive stretch of fucking water has nothing to do with it.
Jackson Powell
We'll send them back to France mate. Undocumented travellers are sent back to the place they travelled from.
Andrew Perez
If you are so safe and immigrants can't reach you, why the fuck do you need to have your border check points in France?
Ryder Martin
Because there's no harm in being extra safe.
Angel Foster
They ask for asylum, you are fucked.
Pierre laughs.
Christian Russell
Have you a two digits IQ? There's a fucking tunnel under the Channel
Currently, migrants can't use it because France allows British cops to control vehicles before entering the tunnel, but if the agreement is negated, border checks will be made at the British end of the tunnel. You won't be able to just refuse the entrance as the migrants will already be on their soil by the time they find them And because of shittons of retarded human right laws, they won't be able to send them back
John Johnson
>If you leave the EU your country will cease to have borders!
The scaremongering is getting ridiculous.
Jaxson Butler
>You won't be able to just refuse the entrance as the migrants will already be on their soil by the time they find them
Yeah! Just like how you can't deport people that arrive in airports
Oh wait!
Joseph Thomas
>We'll send them back to France mate
Except you can't, as France don't have to accept them You can only send them back to their homecountry if you find it
>"B-but if France refuses to accept them, so can we"
Yes, except for that you have to prevent them from entering your soil to begin with, and unfortunatly border checks will be made at the British end of the tunnel (and not in the middle, where the real border is), when the migrants will already be on your soil The only way to "send them back" would be that the migrants willingly cross the tunnel in the other way
Chase Lewis
Can you read or are you only able to post farage memes?
Juan Fisher
It will work the same as airports mate.
Benjamin Cruz
We'll just give them boats and send them across the channel
It's not far away at all like the mediterranean in fact even i myself did normandy-england on a crappy boat just for the sport when i was a kid
And if you want to shoot the boats and drown them all well you deal with the bad press yourself
Zachary Williams
People in airport are sent back only if their homecountry is known If a Colombian illegally flies from an US airport to a British one, you can bet your ass the US will have no obligation to accept the Colombian to be deported back to them Same will apply to France and the tunnel
If you know their homecountry (which I doubt you ever will), you can send them back there Otherwise, you're stuck with them
Gabriel Rodriguez
>People in airport are sent back only if their homecountry is known
Nah mate they get sent back to the country the flight originated from. That's international law.
Austin Kelly
But by that point it has already become a British problem and it's up to British politics to solve it. The entire Touquet treaty is (still) in effect purely because the British want to avoid that scenario. That's also why The Jungle exists. Britain pays France to make it a French problem.
If you really think it's that easy to deport them upon arrival, why are you complaining? This would mean a win-win scenario for everyone, right? France gets rid of the Jungle, Britain sends them back to wherever they came from, end of story. It almost makes you wonder why that Fouquet agreement exists in the first place.
Zachary Hughes
The UK should just destroy the tunnel then. Or have guards so the migrants can't get out of the tunnel on the Brittish side.
Anthony Young
Britain relies on import more than any other european country If they destroy the tunnel, they collapse
So many would die, big whoop. You wouldn't be selling them dinghies anyway, really. You would be selling them THE DREAM.
Joseph Perry

>leave the EU because of the immigrant crisis >end up getting swarmed by them even more
Zachary Taylor
I doubt they'll swim, but they'll surely come by boats just like they do in Greece.
Camden Green
They're asylum seekers. That's the reason "turn back the boats" is a meme in Australian politics, because once they're on our shore we're stuck with them as per the 1951 UN refugee convention.
