'Why are these women and men in these terrible conditions? Because they don't want asylum in France,' French President Emmanuel Macron said.
said at a Thursday news conference the British government"doesn't do what it says" and should work with France on migration.
"A large part of the solution does not lie in France, but in the United Kingdom," Castex wrote, according to Reuters."In fact, you can deter the migrants who are not destined to settle [in Britain] from coming to your territory by conducting a more effective return policy." Macron urged the U.K. to implement clearer, legal ways to apply for asylum so people would be less likely to cross the English Channel. He added that a British economic model that"depends on illegal work by foreigners" also attracts migrants.
French President Emmanuel Macron said France and the U.K. “need to work together in good faith,” especially regarding migration.
