Yes that's probably the best example of all. There is no need for anyone to be holed up in squalor in Calais unless they're intending to take advantage of our 'system'. I reckon the main reasons for this would be housing/benefits (as clarified in earlier posts) or to work illegally, disappear into our large black economy and cynically use a belated asylum claim only when they've been detected and are facing removal. They know the longer they stay, they less likely it is they'll ever be removed no matter what their true background, reasons and behaviour. Our shambolic 'system' is a big pull factor and the thousands at Calais prove it.
