The government today agreed a new deal to handle the growing crisis of migrants gathered at Calais, allocating £15m to tighten British border controls, while France promised to begin voluntary and forced repatriations.

The £15m is money well spent. The Brits are saving themselves much larger long term costs and a decay of their national identity.

There are currently around 1,600 mainly Afghan and Eritrean migrants sleeping rough in makeshift tents on the Nord-Pas-de-Calais coast, desperate to reach Kent by stowing away under cars and lorries.

Alan Johnson, the Home Secretary, said: "The investment will be made on the understanding that the French will, in return, effect significant returns of illegal migrants from northern French regions."

Why don't the British deport them once they reach the UK? Or does it become a "living on the dole free for all" once they reach UK soil and they can't get rid of them?

That is exactly what it becomes. They get housing, free health services and benefits.

Trust me, England is not what it used to be.
