A more principled approach would be for the British government to acknowledge three truths. First, that France already receives a considerably larger number of asylum seekers than the UK, and that the majority of them choose to remain in that country. Second, that a proportion of the asylum seekers in France have understandable and legitimate reasons for wishing to move on to the UK. And third, that safe and legal routes should be established so that these people – especially those who are under 18 and who have close relatives in the UK- do not feel obliged to undertake dangerous cross-Channel journeys. |
