You may ask where the Channel Crossing Illegal Migrants come from. In short, the poorest and most chaotic parts of the world. Recent arrivals have included entire families from Yemen, Eritrea, Chad, Egypt, Sudan and Iraq. Many ask to claim asylum once they are picked up by the UK authorities. Others are economic migrants who have no real claim for refuge. They are seeking to work in the UK without applying for a visa because they think it is better than staying in their homelands. They All need Returned. They have come from France, end of.
