I see the hordes are storming the tunnel again. I don't see why we should take anyone in Calais in let alone those who're already intent on abusing our laws before they've even got here. Until we send a message to those who try to gain entry into the UK in this manner, that they'll never be allowed to remain/acquire citizenship, they'll carry on doing so by ever more extreme means.

Eurotunnel and Eurostar passenger and freight services have resumed with delays after 120 migrants broke into the Calais terminal overnight.
Trains were running through just one of the two tunnels between Folkestone and Calais after fences were breached.
Trains stopped from 23:30 BST on Friday after staff were shoved and stones thrown when an organised group of 200 migrants tried to enter the terminal.
Security staff were overwhelmed by the "number and aggression" of the group.
A Eurotunnel spokesman said: "Services were suspended because of the very large, determined and organised group of migrants who burst through the fence and made their way to the terminal."

I'm sorry but there's no need for these people to be camped out in squalor and risking their lives, they're doing it by choice because they perceive the UK to be a better bet than France. If that means loading old ladies and kids into leaky boats, setting off across the Channel and seeing them drown they'll do it because they believe that will give them the political and emotional leverage to circumvent the rules as is happening across the med.
Having gained entry effectively by intimidation, force and/or aggression, does anyone really think their behaviour will improve once they get here and decide there are other procedures, expectations, rules and laws they don't quite like?
