Quote:
Demolition teams are due to return to the French port of Calais to dismantle more makeshift shelters in the migrant camp known as the "Jungle".
Overnight, riot police fired tear gas at migrants who were hurling stones at the demolition squads.
Authorities say the migrants must move to shipping containers on another part of the site.
But many fear this will require them to claim asylum in France, and give up their hopes of travelling to Britain.

Although the BBC is saying they are being moved to containers on another part of the site the Channel 4 news item I saw on this last week said they're also being moved around the country.
This combined with the plan to extend the tunnel to the terminal itself, removing the open gaps that migrants are trying to break though, should quell the immediate problem at our own borders.
God knows what the long term solution to the amount of migrants turning up at Europe's borders are though. Schengen breaking down is a good thing in my mind. I don't see why you can't have visa-less travel across Europe whilst simply having border controls inbetween the nations.
