Deporting People: Refugees and Wire Entanglements

deporting people: The spectacle of coiled barbed wire strung along the top of fences is a cause of tension, according to The Waterloo Record. This situation has spurred two moves. The historic city is now full of wire entanglements aimed at dealing with refugees. One was to expel refugees and immigrants living on vacant plots of land near the city port. The French government is dismantling the refugee camp, which was dubbed the Jungle, and deporting people who are not recognized as refugees. At one time there were an estimated 7,000 refugees there.
