Maybe the reason there is less of it in France is that their controls amount to really high unemployment rates irrespective of your nationality.
Either way I don't see how any of this helps. The solution needs to be addressed at the root. No matter how well we fortify Calais the migrants will still go there. Before too long France will say enough is enough and revoke the agreement to have our border there and then the problem will be at Dover.
Maybe we do need to look at ID cards again and introduce more 'controls'.

Like we were discussing the other day, get serious with the punishments for those that employ illegals, might stop the odd lord or baroness thinking they're above the rules if nothing else.
