According to the minister, the Schengen agreement, which abolished the national borders between the member states, led to the fact that France was “flooded” with migrants trying to get to the UK. Illegals use every means possible to swim across the English Channel and end up in the United Kingdom. They are attracted by financial benefits and the opportunity to obtain refugee status.
“Let's not forget that the real problem of illegal migration flows is that the EU has no means of border protection – the Schengen borders are open,” concluded Patel .
Earlier, the French police allowed a thousand migrants to leave the coast of France without hindrance in an attempt to swim across the English Channel and reach the UK. On the filming of a local resident, dozens of migrants are seen lowering an inflatable boat with a motor ashore, and a group of French policemen standing nearby does not try to interfere with the actions of potential border trespassers. According to him, the law enforcement officers explained to him that they do not consider capturing migrants to be their job.
