Paris police evict hundreds of migrants from camp ahead of Olympics | BBC News

French police have removed hundreds of migrants from a camp in Paris as part of an operation to prepare the capital for hosting the 2024 Olympic Games.
The camp in Vitry-sur-Seine was home to more than 400 migrants before police carried out a large-scale eviction.
Authorities say the squat was illegal, as they push to dismantle homeless and migrant camps ahead of the Games, but aid workers fear that those evicted now lack longer-term housing assistance.

I went to a barbershop close to me and the guy cutting my hair told me about his journey across Europe through France to the UK. Much to the discomfort of the other barbers in there. He also told me how he got hit by a French policeman and suffered an injury. He was offered a French passport to resolve the case which he declined and then managed to get over to the UK on a boat. He was laughing as he was telling me about them all drinking on the boat crossing the channel. He was then complaining about wanting to go home for a holiday but had to wait until his citizenship to come through. Probably a lot of people out there who desperately need somewhere to go. The guy cutting my hair was definitely not one of them and I bet anything there are so many in a similar position to him. Can’t see what could be done to mitigate this.

Human RIGHTS should only be for people who are born in that country, NOT people who make their own way to a place at their own risk by paying someone else for getting them in to that country, that’s trafficking so human rights should not suddenly apply to people who arrive in a place and sleep rough, neither should they be legally entitled to accommodation it’s not that places duty to home them, yes give them a meal and stuff but that’s where it should stop. If the HUMAN RIGHTS groups are so concerned then may be they should pay for the people being transported at huge cost to them and their families and also pay for them to live in accommodation or get it built,they represent HUMAN RUGHTS so may be that should come under their remit and that should apply all over the world, and when migrants break laws or cause trouble the person who got them in to the country and accommodation should be liable as well as the migrants and face punishment
