PARIS (Reuters) - Police began evacuating hundreds of migrants living in makeshift camps in Paris on Wednesday, as European politicians continue to tackle the issue of refugees, which has fuelled the rise of far-right parties in the continent.

 

Reuters Television pictures showed scores of migrants, from the "Millenaire" camp next to a canal in northeast Paris, waiting to be escorted to temporary accommodation centres. Riot police were also on standby as the evacuation took place.

 

France has undertaken previous measures to clear out migrant camps in Paris, only for new camps to spring up again.

 

Europe has faced a migrant crisis since 2015 following wars in Libya and Syria, and more than 1 million people from Africa and the Middle East have tried to reach the continent via Turkey or by sea.

 

French President Emmanuel Macron's government has said it wants to be both firm and fair on immigration but it took a tougher stance lately, with parliament approving a bill that tightens asylum rules.

The hypocrisy will be stunning

 

Quote

A total of 170 migrants were due to be transferred to tents that have been set up in the wealthy 16th arrondissement, where Nicolas Sarkozy, the former president, and his wife, the singer-songwriter Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, have a home.

How many days will it take before they are moved again ?

Facts are useful as opposed to uninformed opinion. As of 2015 both Russia and China hosted approx 300k refugees each. Whilst Japan nearly always turns down asylum applications, Japan is the world's 4th largest donor to UNHCR.

China? More a reputation for forced repatriation of refugees from North Korea.

True, from my reading ethnic Chinese from places such as Burma & Vietnam.

Thailand puts you in IDC for eternity. Or without papers, pushes you out to int'l waters on a raft, gives

you some Mama noodles and bids you good luck on your journey back from whence you came. Law of the jungle. 

 

It is not a very humanitarian approach to immigration, but is a good deterrent to those seeking to suckle on the teat of a foreign nation and people. 

I Agree , Let the rest of the world take note of this.

Sadly, I agree.

 

Edit - Europe has become a 'soft touch' haven for economic and radical 'refugees'.

 

It's obvious that Europe citizens have had enough of economic refugees - whether from other european countries or those from other countries declaring themselves as 'refugees'....
