Scuffles in Paris as police move in to tear down makeshift migrant camps

PARIS: -- Tensions have flared between migrants and police at a makeshift camp in the French capital.

 

Officers moved in to clear tents from pavements, where hundreds of migrants have gathered. Some scuffles broke out between the two sides, with riot police brought in.

 

Makeshift camps have sprung up since the demolition began of the migrant camp at Calais.

 

Shikhali Mirzai, a migrant from Afghanistan, told reporters: “This morning the police came. People were thinking that the police would come tomorrow to give a house, a camp.

 

“Where are these people going to sleep? It’s very cold. This isn’t a life, it’s an animal’s life.”

 

Houssam El Assimi, a charity worker, said: “What’s happening is the result of a management policy that consists of police raids.

 

“They form a circle (around the migrants) and sort people on the basis of their administrative situation. Sometimes, it’s racial profiling.”

 

The destruction of one of Europe’s largest migrant camps is coming to an end, with many people bussed off to other cities around France.

But the plight of hundreds of minors remains uncertain.

 

Some reports say about 1500 young people are living in temporary lodgings in container boxes.

 

Hundreds of adult migrants are also said to have avoided the official processing.

Well what did you expect, come to someone else's country and get a free lunch plus a free house!

Exactly Dave. The expect to illegally enter a country, probably using the services of illegal traffickers. Then illegally transit through other safe countries without having bothered to register in the first country of entry or any other on the way. Then they expect to be well fed and looked after, with food to their liking, warm clothing and accommodation and fast internet connection.

Next they believe they should be entitled to state what country they should be freely transported to which must then provide free housing, healthcare, food and an allowance whilst they seek employment of their choice.

 

They seem to actually believe they are totally entitled to all this. And what's worse is all the PC Liberals, left wingers, so called charities, and has been entertainers and luvvies, along with certain sympathetic media support them in that belief. Made worse when dopey Merkel says its open house and then tries to force quotas on other countries too.

 

None of this would have happened if French authorities had enforced the law from day one. As should all countries where illegals entered.

I am waiting for the 'pulling of the heart string brigade' shaming us all for our contempt and disregard for these so called poor souls. Sadly many of us know the truth. Many of these so called war torn migrants are economic migrants. Many are not child migrants and also many are not the 'best citizens' of their birth countries. The whole of Europe is ready to explode with the migrant issue. At present there are minor scuffles soon it could be fierce battles on the streets. What a shame if you have lived ion an area all your life, then suddenly your can't go out at night or even in the day, through fear. If that is what liberalism is then you can keep it.

This isn't life, it's an animals life.

 

I am sure that if you asked, the French will arrange a one way flight back to your paradise.
