Migrants Calais: England Is responsible for the crisis?

FACT CHECKING - While 1700 migrants still tried Sunday night to cross the channel tunnel to enter the UK, many politicians believe that London is not hard enough. What exactly is it? Elements of response.

Calais of migrants, along railways Euro tunnel. Several elected French criticize the position of Britain.

 The tone rises between France and the United Kingdom. In recent weeks, the number of migrants trying to illegally cross the tunnel under the Channel rose sharply. In the only night of Sunday to Monday, 1700 attempts have been thwarted by security forces around the tunnel entrance. An intolerable situation, which grows many French politicians to ask an effort the British.
Xavier Bertrand, deputy of the Aisne, has threatened to challenge the Touquet Treaty, which defines the responsibilities in terms of immigration to London and Paris. "We do not need to be an expert in geography to understand the English border is Dover and Calais not," he blamed on iTV, regretting that France "does the work of the English instead of English. " An opinion also shared by François Bayrou, who said on Europe 1 that "France is playing border guards for Britain".

 Provisions of the Touquet Treaty

Signed in 2003 by the two countries, the Touquet Treaty provides that immigration controls do before leaving the country, that is to say, in France for those who want to join the United Kingdom and vice versa. To the extent that very few illegals want to cross the tunnel in the direction Calais-Dover, it is especially on this side of the Channel that the police were mobilized to monitor immigrants.
This imbalance between the two countries explains that many, Xavier Bertrand in mind, consider that the border between France and the United Kingdom is located in Calais, not in Dover. Especially as the bilateral agreements that followed one of Le Touquet, in 2009, 2010 and 2014, have further reinforced this fact: they foresaw that Britain funds the controls and security of transit areas, leaving Paris the task of monitoring the area around the Channel Tunnel.
  
The UK, a paradise, really?

 If so many illegals trying every night to pass between the security of mail, it is because they see London as a genuine Eldorado. "Why do they want to go to England? For there is a job and above all you can work there without identity papers. There 'no ID card in England," explained last week Xavier Bertrand . It is true that with an unemployment rate of 5.6% against 10% in France and a much higher growth than its neighbors, the economic health of the UK has something to envy. And even if, contrary to what the deputy Republicans, immigrants in Britain should properly present identity papers to their employer, "it is too easy to work illegally" in Britain, acknowledged David Cameron.

 Cameron promises more resources

 Under pressure, the British Prime Minister pledged this weekend to send "more fences, more resources, more teams with sniffer dogs", in addition to the € 10 million allocated this week latest to enhance security of Eurotunnel site. The means that could be used to stem the flood of immigrants trying to reach London, but that does not solve the problem since the beginning of the year, according to the European border agency Frontex surveillance, some 81,500 migrants were rescued in the Mediterranean Sea and crammed in camps on the island of Lampedusa, Sicily and other Italian ports.
