They are in France. They are not British. The only thing that makes this relevant to the UK is that they want to come here.

What is poop saying if it's not that?


I'm saying helping them get here is a lot better than letting them sit forever in Calais, or riding in a dinghy to get here. Your answer seems to be that France should both a) feed and house them indefinitely; and b) Keep them from trying to get here when it's here that they want to go to.
