France builds “Trump-style” wall to keep illegal Muslim migrants from breaking into Britain from Calais

Jan 23, 2019 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

France has speedily “built a ten-foot wall at a Total station in Calais used by migrants who attempt to storm lorries and break into Britain.”

The wall is being compared by detractors to the “Trump wall,” and it is just as needed: “there are an estimated 600 mostly male migrants hailing from Afghanistan, Iran, and Syria squatting in makeshift camps around the port town waiting to break into Britain— down from an estimated 10,000 during the heyday of the infamous ‘Calais Jungle.'”

Reminder: the Calais jungle was a violent no-go war zone.

“France Builds Trump-Style Wall to Stop Illegals Getting to Britain,” by Victoria Friedman, Breitbart, January 21, 2019:

French authorities have built a ten-foot wall at a Total station in Calais used by migrants who attempt to storm lorries and break into Britain.

The barrier is being erected at a petrol station in the Marcel-Doret area where lorries stop to fill up with fuel before heading to the port and onwards to the United Kingdom. It is set to be finished by mid-February.

Local prefect Fabien Sudry told Nord Littoral that “smuggling networks meet there and take advantage of stations near the port to get migrants in trucks.”

“The situation was rather tense at this station. The police regularly had stones thrown at them,” Mr Sudry said.
A Total spokesman confirmed the barrier was built at the request of the Calais prefecture to “protect customers, staff, and migrants,” the Daily Mail reports, with locals comparing it to the wall that U.S. President Donald Trump wants to build along the southern border of the United States to stop mass illegal migration from Central and South America.

Pro-migration aid workers object to the wall, as the barrier between the two spaces is “divisive.”
One Calais-based charity worker who wished to withhold their identity complained: “The wall is ugly and of course divisive.”

“This is very political — it aims to show desperate people that they are not welcome here, and that more and more walls and police will be used to keep them out.

“If you oppose such policies, you can get into a lot of trouble.”

There are an estimated 600 mostly male migrants hailing from Afghanistan, Iran, and Syria squatting in makeshift camps around the port town waiting to break into Britain — down from an estimated 10,000 during the heyday of the infamous “Calais Jungle”.

It is believed to be the first time that a wall has been so quickly erected in a hotspot area for trafficking with the intention of stopping migrants attempting to make the journey to the United Kingdom…..

    Yes, divisive… the wall divides the law-abiding from the law-breakers.

    • gravenimage says

      Yes–because there is nothing divisive about Muslims invading Britain…

    Go France; you are using common sense. Too bad pelosi/schumer are so full of hate for the President they have no regard for rest of the country. What a sham they are.

    • mortimer says

      Agree. Pelosi, Schumer and Company are so INTENT ON THEIR PERSONAL POWER GRAB and ENTITLEMENT to rule, that they couldn’t care less about the interests of Americans.

      Pelosi, Schumer and Co. want illegals who will vote for them illegally in California and elsewhere.

      Pelosi, Schumer and Co. are such sleazes, and yet, preposterously, they present themselves as having the moral highground.

        Yes Mortimer,

        These law breaking people spread their cultures to other countries by punching holes in the host nations. There is a clear nexus between politicians who trade votes for gross lawlessness.

        Muslims have scant regard for democracy, Only Sharia is good.

        Nancy Pelosi thinks walls are immoral & there should be no boundaries or borders………except at her mansion with walls, don’t bring illegal immigrants there as Laura Loomer did:

          This French wall looks so very “immoral”.

  3. Michael Copeland says

    The core reason for the wall is that France, as a state, is failing to control illegal alien squatters.

    • LytchZam says

      Jan 23, 2019 at 7:59 pm

      Why are there so many fewer now? 600 down from 10,000. Maybe just showing the resolve to build a wall made them look elsewhere.

        the other 10K are already in UK…:(

      • Stuart carlton says

        Maybe England is not as attractive as it was 10 years ago.
        Maybe nothing to do with policy.

        The wall was built to protect the French workers. Apart from political pressure from England/Europe France has no one interest in keeping nomads their side of the border.

    These people are not “desperate” as the aid worker says. They are in a safe, western country which gives refuge to asylum seekers – France – and they are trying to get to another country which they believe (correctly of course) offers them higher levels of welfare payments as well as work on the black market without interference from the incompetent, lazy British authorities.

    I feel sorry for the people of Calais having to have these scum live near their town, but I certainly don’t want them in my country. The UK govt needs to get a grip and reduce welfare payments – both in cash and kind – to asylum seekers to reduce the pull factor. Then the French/UK governments need to make a joint statement that any “asylum seeker” caught trying to move from one safe country to another will be assumed to be an economic migrant and returned immediately and without appeal to their home country or the country from which they originally set off for Europe.

    And France needs to expel the “aid workers” who are simply making a bad situation worse.

    • gravenimage says

      Jan 23, 2019 at 10:35 pm

      No one in France should be “desperate” to flee. France is a civilized country.

      It’s just that the dole is more generous in Britain.

    …………………,

    Some sanity in France.

    The wall wouldnt be necessary if you people didnt act like animals. Thats the real truth. If you were appreciative of the help you were being given (since they didnt have to left you in at all) and showed it acted like normal, civilized people, none of this would be necessary. So not only do they need to pay to support and help you out, you attack them and cause violence and damage, costing more money.

      True. It’s not race it is culture and beleif.
      Islam is not a race. When an individual is a low I Q criminal thug that’s not about race either.
      These leftists refuse to look at FACTS.
      Hateful illiterate rapists are not going to benefit Europe. At all.
      Islam adds nothing positive.
      Fighting age males intent on pillaging and raping their host country do not deserve help.
      Welcoming them is not compassion it’s suicide.

    Can you imagine a fortress without walls? That is a nonsense thought. Are there walls on the borders of the EU? Do they work?

  8. BC says

    I am sure you will find that the do gooders aka pro migration traitors and politicians do not live within 30 km of any migrants and their loved ones are highly unlikely to be mugged or raped by these desperate criminals, who demonstrate their ‘qualities’ by their illegal attempts to infiltrate UK and carry on their criminal activities there

    Throughout recorded history the English Channel has stopped hordes of barbarians and others from invading their island. They made a grave mistake in allowing the Channel tunnel. It will be their demise.

    • gravenimage says

      Jan 24, 2019 at 9:03 pm

      Yes–this was foolish. I worried about this being a mistake when the “Chunnel” was first opened.

    • bob says

      Jan 25, 2019 at 10:51 am

      When that tunnel was being built many of us could see the problems that would come with it but now with us leaving the EU on the horizon, we have the chance to use our ferries all the more like we used to do years ago. We are an Island and need to remember that!

    Another example that walls work

    Ugly and devisive?
    Like a foaming at the mouth death cultist screaming in the streets with an ax? Or a gang rape? Violent low IQ male.migrants harassing people while.committing crime…is THAT ugly and divisive?I

    Liberalism is a mental disorder.
