Street Encampments: Hollande and British Shores

street encampments: Hollande also urged Britain to do more to help underage migrants in Calais, a port city that has long been a magnet for desperate travellers from the Mideast and Africa seeking to reach British shores. "We cannot tolerate camps," Hollande said, calling the street encampments "not worthy" of France. "We will evacuate the camps in Paris, because it cannot be a long-lasting solution." He played down concerns that the closure of the Calais camp this week has driven its residents to the sidewalks of Paris, notably near the Stalingrad subway station, according to Guelph Mercury. Most migrants recently amassing around the station are part of a "new migratory current coming from Libya these last weeks and months," Hollande said. The makeshift camps in Calais on the English Channel and in the French capital have become visible symbols of the country struggle to accommodate migrants and refugees seeking better lives in Europe. Migrant camps routinely sprout up in Paris, are cleared out, and then sprout up again. Hollande insisted that France would shelter asylum-seekers and deport those without the right to asylum. Paris regional authorities say 19,000 migrants have been shifted to temporary housing since June 2015. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
