Britain's decision to quit the EU could lead to a summer surge in illegal migrants trying to enter the country from France, the head of Eurotunnel has warned.

Jacques Gounon, the firm's chief executive and chairman, said Brexit had given migrants a "clear signal" that the Anglo-French border would become "a huge wall, similar to the Berlin Wall, almost impossible to overcome".

More like they will soon lose the opportunity to make the UK part of the caliphate

The French aren’t really trying. Close the Calais camp and use whatever force is necessary to move the invaders out. I doubt they will ever do that, however.

Not similar to the Berlin Wall. You mean similar to the Trump Wall.

since its a damned tunnel, it should not be TOO difficult to just check who crawls thru it...

otherwise, ask the Israelis about their new anti-terrorist-tunnel technology

“The French aren’t really trying.”

As long as they are trying to get into the UK it isn’t a French problem. If the French do something, then it becomes a French problem. There is no good, populist way out for the French. So, they do nothing.

The problem is if the French stand by and let the immigrants/invaders board the trains on their side, the Brits will have to figure what to do with them on their side. I doubt if France will willingly take them back (since they’re not French) and Britain will be stuck with feeding and housing them until they can put them on a plane to back where they come from (which won’t take them either). And then the humanitarian lawyers will get involved and the Brits will never get rid of them. Now, if Britain becomes an island again, i.e. closes the tunnel, the problem is solved. I guess it depends on how bad the invasion gets.

She told French broadcaster BFM TV: "The British must take on the consequences of their choice

actually, I think it's the French and Germans who 'must' take on the consequences of their choice to allow immigrants wholesale to begin with. England was their dumping ground, it's been disasterous for England, financially and socially, so enough is enough. Keep the blighters or send them home but don't send them to England.

What would happen if the Brits closed the Chunnel and the French were stuck with everyone in the Calais camp?

How did all of this work before the EU?

Just do what they did before, check IDs and passports

Would a few GAU-8’s work as an intermediate deterrent? The brrrrrrrt in a tunnel alone should scare them off.

The Brits would have to stop all the freight traffic, as well. The major issue is that the French have a real problem forcefully confronting the problem. They have made half hearted efforts, but the invaders just move around and rebuild. The French need to round them up and deport them for good, but they, along with most of the EU, just can't do it.

Don’t be surprised if dumping migrants into Britain, to ensure they could never vote themselves out, had been the plan all along.
