FRANCE-BRITAIN-IMMIGRATION

Police officers attempt to stop illegal migrants from jumping onto trucks headed for Britain in the northeastern French port of Calais on October 29, 2014. The mayor of Calais told lawmakers in London on October 28 that fencing donated by Britain to keep illegal migrants from the French exit port was "laughable" and said the border controls should be in Britain. Speaking to a British parliamentary committee, Natacha Bouchart also said it was easier to get welfare benefits in Britain and that migrants viewed the country as an "Eldorado". Up to 2,300 migrants are thought to be in Calais and surrounding areas, overwhelming security forces as they make regular attempts to mob the port en masse to try and scramble onto trucks boarding ferries to the British port of Dover.
