Migrants, Smugglers Line Up on Highways, Hit Cars With Branches in Attempts Make Their Way to Britain
28th August 2016
A BBC crew visited the highways by the tunnel separating the countries and got to see first hand how the hijackings take place. A video posted Thursday show the road blocked off by large branches. When a truck approaches, people immediately run toward it and threaten their way onto the truck.
Now, in American that would get them shot.
This must be why European countries put such restrictions on gun ownership; they like power in the hands of criminals.
Authorities told the BBC crew that Calais has become a “no-go zone” between midnight and 6 a.m., when most attacks take place.
Calais is home to the infamous “jungle” migrant camp where thousands of migrants have set up a community as they wait to gain entry to the United Kingdom. The jungle has doubled in size during the summer and is now home to almost 9,000 migrants.
And what is France doing about it? Why, nothing! What do they care if people going to Britain are inconvenienced? Or threatened.
There you go: Brexit explained.
