Migrants

migrants: Witnesses said they were pushed back by water cannons. But the migrants will keep trying because that is what human beings do when they need food, shelter and employment, according to The Star. There is something slightly humourous about people desperately trying to get away from the French it really is a huge compliment to Britain that the world wants so badly to come to that energetic little island but of course we are seeing people suffer terribly. The French police are brutal, the migrants sleep on the ground, French citizens are fed-up and the situation is a disgrace. The migrants may not realize that its not quite as bad as what the British do to suicidal failed refugee claimants and their children at notorious institutions like Yarls Wood operated by private security firms. But it is dire and If you want screenshots of humanitys future, study the scenes from the BBC this week of many dozens of young male migrants racing through the port of Calais on the French seacoast to scramble aboard a huge tourist ferry sailing cross-Channel to England. In their dreams. They must have known this latest run, a mere sprint event in the Olympics of Despair that constitute modern migration, would end in failure. The French port is a dull landscape that much resembles the dead-zone parking lots at Pearson Airport: grey asphalt with painted lines, high wire fences and curving roads. It screams mundanity, one of those places that are emphatically a transit zone, a place between places. The migrants of Calais are from Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Eritrea and other suffering dysfunctional countries, and their energy and tenacity are stunning. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
