Who is going to pay to house, feed and water potentially thousands of people whilst they await processing? Who is going to pay to transport, house, feed, water and help settle people in the UK? Of course, it's us.But they could do this. And it would go a long way in solving the issue of channel crossings.
If they land on our shores they can claim asylum, so treat a processing centre in France as ‘our shores’. It would save lives.
For these quite obvious reasons I really don't see why we should go beyond our minimum obligations as per literally every other country already does. We can't even help the people here properly let alone setup an international rescue centre in France.
I still think we should treat this problem for what it is, it's a criminal act facilitated by criminals and normally what then happens is you go after the criminals. Stop the criminals and the crossings stop. Even if you setup a border post, do you think applicants who would likely be rejected aren't going to try the crossing anyway?
