Its like the red ant and black ant theory.
Put 100 of each in a jar and nothing will happen, but if you shake the jar, they will fight to the death! The red will think the black are the enemy and the black will think the red are the enemy. when in truth the person who has shaken the jar is their enemy.

It's is estimated that anything between 120,000 to 1.3m will be undocumented migrants.
Now when you look across to Turkey, where they border countries like Syria, Afghanistan etc and their numbers are anything between 440,000 to 3,6 M undocumented migrants, I'd say its alot worse for them than it is us.
We have more ilegal migrants who have been here 5/10 years or more. Meaning they were children most likely when they were bought to these shores.

Think the difference is in Turkey they kept in camps near border run by agencies.... we give them a lift to uk we pay them for being here we give them accommodation ect
Plus only got to walk into Turkey... yes other countries have it worse undoubtedly but Do we have to give them legal aid to help stay in UK.... undoubtedly France is the problem for fo many coming here but we have no concertive plan to remove those that not entitled to be here ... by 2050 we'll have bigger population than rest of European countries!

So rather than focus on the individuals in boats surely the apathy should be directed to the men and women in suits creating this issue?
To Quote Akala "fight with a guy on a Friday night, dont know what for? But won't fight with a guy, suit and a tie, who sends your kids to die in a war! They dont send the kids of the rich or politicians! they send your kids, the poor British!"
Identify the real enemy rather than focus on the target the real enemy puts in front of you.

Depends on how many of these gangs there are? Padt experience said one goes another takes over plus got to negotiate with foreign gvmnts as gangs not in UK generally! Still think France is the answer but appears no matter how much £££££s or manpower we give yhem nothing changes still have them waving migrants off from beach? Why can't they stop boat leaving a river to go yo a beach? Surely it's not hard to station a fast boat to stop what are very slow dinghies used by traffickers .... more you stop them leaving France less likely people will try ? at moment wheres the disentive to stay away none French do minimal and border force give them lift rest way why not simply take them back to France? No France glad to get rid of them less work for gvmnt to sort out

About right.
Once on our beaches we have a legal right to look after them through the EHCR. Hence why Reform want us to leave it.
As for the gang you are right. One gang gets taken down only to be replaced by another. Much to my surprise though are most of these gangs are from Syria area and they make their way into the EU by Turkey. There is very little preventative action to stop them.

Thing us theynever reach our beaches we give them a lift from mid channel! They actually know that they need to diall 999 as soon as in range of uk airwaves so we go pick them up ? We've given France around 200m pat couple years plus manpower to stop them all they do is stop odd ones that makes them look good but in reality they do nothing to help keep them in France ...... nothing in international law in stopping UK taking them back to France if we can't France can send a boat out to take them back.... do this won't take long for traffickers to lose buisness as migrants know its waste time paying to go nowhere.
But it's obvious that France doesn't want migrants in their country stuck in calais ..

"Smash the gangs" was a PR exercise it's not in Frances interest to stop any boats, it just becomes their problem. Same as one in one out. We can't make the French do anything about this

But illegal migrants should not be allowed to stay in this country.
How we return them is very debatable depending on the country of origin.

There is a massive imbalance in the focus and coverage of those arriving by boat, which represents about 10% of net migration each year. The previous government did nothing to control the legal migration and allowed the backlog of processing both to get out of control, and the current government are being pulled from all sides trying to do bits to show some level of action.
It's a mess.
