Funded by Britain, a wall has been built to stop migrants from jumping onto trucks in the northern French city of Calais heading across the English Channel.
The threat, however, appears to have already receded.
Regional spokesman Steve Barbet says no migrants have been reported trying to hop a truck since French authorities dismantled Calais’ refugee camp in October. He said Tuesday that police scouring the city and the surrounding area daily have found no new camps, though a handful of migrants still gather at the port.
He says the new 4 meter-high (13-foot-high) concrete wall along a Calais highway aims to deter future migrants.
Thousands of migrants from the Mideast and Africa, who had converged on Calais after fleeing conflict and poverty, have now been dispersed across France.

i say build the wall 50 ft. high i don’t care who pays for it i will chip in all i can attord
Golly Gee, Wally….. The Europeans are finally pulling their heads out of their butts and doing something… Maybe our left wing liberals should take notice.
The genious progressive liberals will get worse.We have much work to do deprogramming the collective mindset from the last eight years.The horror, the horror!

They may take notice, but vow to never follow suit.
to all the frigging naysayers: see it CAN be done. It HAS been done!
We need to take a note from Israel & France for border protection.
Bullets are much cheaper than a wall.
Too late for France, they spread the vipers all over their country. Just a matter of time until they are out bred and out voted. We had better wake up.
Good for them but still a lot of trash still in France
I’ll chip in also if they PROMISE to put 50,000 Volt Electric to it !!
Islamic terrorism in this country is not near the threat that we have in this country. The liberal progressive commucrats are by far more dangerous to our society at this point in time so how do you build a wall for them?
It’s called the Trump Administration!
Term limits, followed by the No Liberal left behind fund. A fund to relocate all liberals to their own fantasy land. When all else fails, we show them why we have a Second Amendment.
BS. It’s only smoke screen. They want the Brits to believe European Onion is acting. They prepare the second referendum for the remain of UK within the octopussy. Thanks God, their agent is Tony Blair (you know, the guy of the Massive destruction arms in Irak) whom records of unliability could be guinessbooked… As a matter of fact, they do nothing. While they expulse one “migrant”, they let thousands of them step in. See for example the number of large ships sent WITHIN the territorial waters of Lybia, picking the “migrants” and taken back to Italy under protection of the Italian navy. Of course, they could drop them within 60 miles to a lybian haven under occidental control…All this thanks to El Merk and her minions.
Build that wall, but before it is finished put all the liberals on the other side.
Hope it better than the Line you built to keep out the Germans WW2.
I agree with the voltage but also 20′ of mine field on the US side of the wall. I’d chip on what I could!
