Dunkirk’s Migrant Crisis: Breaking Borders

[@DanM012324]

The media needs to stop trying to emotionally blackmail, us Europeans are not falling for it.

[@sajjadsaj66]

+Daniel May Was this video really that emotional to u. Vice is clever, since the last dispatch, i haven't had any emotional thought, except for how ungrateful some of these refugees r.

[@Ascreaminghotdog]

emotionally blackmail? what the fuck are you a nazi? if yes then that makes sense on why you feel black mailed on a emotional level, because you have none.

[@DanM012324]

Sky Chase and therein lies my point, anyone who has concerns about this mass migration of people is deemed a nazi..

[@DanM012324]

Sky Chase Why would I need to help them they're in France! They've been offered asylum in France but reject it because the UK is more generous with handouts.

[@mojorhythm]

you dont represent all of europe. get over yourself.

[@r3dp1ll]

I'm French and have been living in the UK for the past 8 years. Believe me if you're poor / have a serious health condition, you are much better living in France than in the UK. Even if these migrants reach Britain things will be tough. They believe in an utopia.

[@benlotus2703]

vincent, i left the UK a few days ago. In France i destroyed my passport, and later today I will get into a small boat to leave for the UK. I have changed my name to Omar X. After i sneak back on the boat, the UK Immigration Officers will put me up in a Hotel (4 Star) and the Government will give me £49.50 each week. I will live in the free hotel for a year or two as i wait for a free flat/home. During that time i will not have to pay for TV license or water bills/ electricity bills. I will eat 3 free meals served to me each day in the hotel, as i access the free WI-Fi on my i-Phone 6. Hard Life

[@FMLevatation]

These vice journalist should take these refugees to their homes. Problem solved.

[@rabbithare381]

No they will come to your homes and share with you the resources you stole & still stealing from their countries. You invaded and destabised their way of life. Now the shits hot the fun, all of you getting smeared.....

[@notliberalenoughforreddit4702]

Honestly, from the start of this crisis, I've tried and, for the most part, succeeded to sympathize with these people, but that's getting harder and harder with each passing day.

[@benlotus2703]

well i left the UK a few days ago. In France i destroyed my passport, and later today I will get into a small boat to leave for the UK. I have changed my name to Omar X.

[@pstephen72]

"Our lives aren't safe here" last time I checked France wasn't involved in any sort of war or fighting.

[@TwoFistsOneHalleluja]

+pstephen72 Neither were Turkey, Greece and the list goes on. They didn't just teleport from Syria to Calais. They had to travel accross several countries to come here, first of them was Turkey. The EU should send them back to Turkey. After all: 1/ Turkey created this crisis since they've been supporting ISIS for years 2/ Turks are now mostly islamist lowlifes too. Since Erdogan jailed the generals that protected Turkey's secularism Turkey has become a less braindead Saudi Arabia. A perfect place for the sunni "refugees" from Syria.

[@tyronelannister6207]

+pstephen72 They are at war with IS dont you remember paris attacks and french airstrikes on IS?

[@pstephen72]

Tyrone Lannister They aren't formally at war

[@VICENews]

[@ZeeBri]

"I would say to the House, as I said to those who have joined this Government: "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat." If only these cowards thought the same.

[@kickDustPedestrian]

sad no politicians take them to their houses...

[@jodawgsup]

Honestly. I get it. War is horrible and you need to flee, and we as a Europe, with western values which are far superior than in any islamic country, need to give you a place to be. This is understandable and is something we ought to do. What you CANNOT do, as a refugee, is make these bold claims of wanting to go to England because of the system in place for those impoverished (the same goes for the whole of Scandinavia, basically). This is having a utopian dream, that you can simply NOT afford to have as a refugee. Be respectful towards those trying to help you, even though it might be badly organised and handled at times. Remember that your army has tried to kill you, that your leaders have tried to kill you, and that your so called brethren from your home country are trying to kill you. If you reckon it is better being killed than being welcomed in a western, civilised country, you can go elsewhere.

[@yugislolas123]

Well, if they dont like it here, they can always turn around and go back. :)

[@mojorhythm]

+Yugislolas peniok I'm sure your position would remain identical if it was you in one of those camps.

[@prasiprassi]

The girl at 5:00 :D. They taught her good :D. They probably forced her to read that sentence 100 times every night for practise before she go to sleep. Their unwillingness to register in a country like France just proof that most of them are just economic migrants not running from war, and above that they are pretty picky economic migrants too :D.

[@jewels5340]

how is she a economic migrant if she ran away from IS like she Clearly stated

[@prasiprassi]

Salma Abdi She can state whatever she want, it's most likely lies. The fact that they refuse to register in a peaceful country like France says it all.

[@jewels5340]

+prasiprassi yeah I was thinking if they were running away from war they'd go to first country they arrived in Europe but I don't agree with when you said it was all lies bc there's over a million we can never be too sure on everyones reasons

[@prasiprassi]

Salma Abdi You can't be sure but if you watch few interviews with migrants, you will see how some people are greateful for just being alive (aka runing from warr ppl), and different kind of ppl who aways complain and scream GIVE US MONEY and so on - aka economic migrants who piss on EU laws but want to live in EU.

[@enigmaPL]

I'm all for helping fellow human beings, if they WANT help. Most of these people don't seem to want help however. The introduction almost made me sick with the girl in pink saying, it would've been better to have been killed by ISIS, than to have come to Europe, a safe environment...... Maybe we should deport them, and let them have their wish. Though ISIS probably wouldn't kill her initially.... We can't just drop everything we're doing, ignore the entire economy, peoples lives and jobs, to stop and listen to their demands. It seems like every step of the way, the countries DO try to help in one way or another, but they refuse and riot, then are surprised why they get surrounded by fences? They don't seem to understand the countries they're entering, aren't a complete shithole, so yes, there is alot of paperwork, alot of organization that must take place, and due process to make sure everything can be settled correctly. You can't just let a huge flow of people to trample through your cities, wrecking everything along the way, getting misplaced here and there... it's that kind of behavior that let their home countries to become absolute shitholes in the first place....... What hurts even more, alot of these people have children, babies even, that truly need somewhere to stay. But that's just it, they're already in a safe environment, but they keep on demanding more and more, ignoring their childrens safety to continue in hopes for more.... They've escaped a warzone and chaos.... and yet they're making greedy demands? Are you serious?

[@pstephen72]

Money speaks louder than words and these "migrants" are the perfect example of that.

[@antonarenko3242]

Whats wrong with France?!?!?!?!

[@AdhirajGupte]

That girl in the pink jacket is epitome of ungratefulness and arrogance.

[@jewels5340]

let's see you survive a brutal civil war like she did. you'd be crying like a bitch!

[@AdhirajGupte]

Salma Abdi First cry that ISIS is killing us, just give us entry in your country. Later after getting entry in country cry for poor condition of living. In reality they came to Europe thinking they will get free home,food and job, and after seeing reality again crying we were better in our war torn unsafe country. Wow. It cant be more unsensible.

[@thecamil10]

I find it absurd that a child at that age said it would have been better if she was killed by IS than to be in that jungle. Of course that jungle is not fit for animals let alone humans to live, however if they have been offered asylum in France I cannot see why they didn't accept it. I know France is not perfect, so it is not Britain. Sometimes governments have to be a bit more assertive with people who act like that. Give them two options either you accept to live in France or you all be removed from Calais and sent back to the refugee camp in Syria.

[@silvertimer]

What do they expect? They came willingly and uninvited, did they think they would get an apartment with amenities? Look at the camp: trash everywhere, no drainage system, no organization, nothing but expectations and the blaming of "the authorities". At least try to do the things you can to make this place better.

[@notliberalenoughforreddit4702]

Also, all these guys have pretty nice smartphones for someone leaving everything behind and running for their lives.

[@jordyleffers9244]

130 people to share one toilet, what'd you expect?! It's free living!

[@matthewavison7429]

in britian we have too little land for the amount of people living in the country rigt now sp there fore we don't have the facilities or the money to finance them and for their housing,we cannot slove their problem it may be harsh be we cannot have then in british as if you go to place in Bradford they are so badly run ect and the majority of the population in that cetane part are migrants which degrade the quality of life as they do not speak the Language or understand our way of life so eventually they lead to crime as the don't have the money to finance them selves again degrading the quality of life so there for we just can't keep them here

[@CelticSaint]

They have very recently had a brand new shelter built for them with shower/toilet facilities. Warmth, 3 good meals a day, security etc etc. Only one problem. In order to live there they have to register with the local authorities. So far, the shelter remains totally vacant!! Now there's a surprise!

[@k35magnum]

Why do all the refugees seem to be under the impression that the UK is some utopia. Having been to a handful of countries around Europe, sure the cultures are kinda different, but they're in for disappointment if they honestly think it's worth dying for trying to get to. Considering they've already made it to France, it seems odd, unless they're just hoping to get on the dole..

[@dabhdude]

Mmm mm. Would you look at that like to dislike ratio. About 2.5 to 8 looking at it right now. Vice, seriously, stop making this BS propaganda. It doesn't seem to be working.

[@stallion78]

So sick of this emotional blackmail

[@enigmaPL]

Also, people, stop giving thumbs down to the videos. That doesn't show the migrants you disapprove, it only hurts VICE and the reporters that are bringing you this information so that you can come to your own conclusions...... Voting down isn't suddenly going to make the migrants act civilized..... We all wish they weren't so ungrateful, but that won't help.

[@w.a.watson3078]

SAME STORY. THEY THOUGHT THEY WOULD COME AND BE GIVEN FREE HOUSING, FOOD, AND MONEY IN ENGLAND. I HOWEVER, IT WAS A RUDE AWKENING.

[@thatsnotagoodidea]

I don't get it. Why are they all trying to get to UK?

[@pstephen72]

Money, the U.K. has really good benefits that these so called "refugees" want to take advantage of.

[@thatsnotagoodidea]

pstephen72 France lacks benefits?

[@pstephen72]

thatsnotagoodidea These are economic migrants just looking for money. France doesn't lack benefits, France actually wants these people to join the work force instead of giving them free stuff. The UK will just hand out free money, all they have to do is apply for welfare and they almost certainly will get it.

[@thatsnotagoodidea]

pstephen72 Most refugees I have seen get help starting a business so they can provide for themselves. Sounds like France has a similar approach as the US.

[@pstephen72]

thatsnotagoodidea Exactly, that's why the UK is so desired by these people

[@ladedalounge]

The child in the pink sweatshirt is amazingly articulate and I wish I could help her and her family. To rather die at her age is senseless; but she has seen war. Where is the humanity? There are bad people all over, but there are good people all over. My grandmother migrated with my mother to the USA and had a family sponsor who my grandfather visited weekly until his untimely death. A family sponsor looked out for the new migrant family. Yes, there are cruel people who themselves are entitled by the luck of being born in a good country. I am sorry, no child should have to live like that. The WWII DP camps were better than this in German after WWII. This is a disgrace. Children should not have to live like this, especially children who just want a life. The comments are disturbing, to think such heartless non empathetic people live among me.

Abandoning your own country and expecting everyone else to just give you everything on a silver platter. Life doesn't work that way.

[@Darknova591]

Well blame the government for destroying their country for selfish reasons.

[@BruchoSindicate]

They say they would rather be dead than live in that camp. It was a long fucking way from where you came across Europe. Many countries in between. All of these countries in EU are not at war, if you are running from war, why didn't you stop at the first country in EU? Oh right, UK will give you benefits, AKA live and get money just for breathing.
