Why the UK?
According to the Mayor of Calais, Natacha Bouchart, and members of the French Senate, migrants perceive the UK to be a better destination than France because the British welfare state will give everyone £36 a week.
Ms Bouchart said migrants think the UK is an "El Dorado" of highly paid work and easy benefits.
The French politicians also blame the under-regulated labour market where migrants can easily find cash-in-hand jobs.
In addition, they said there is no system of identity cards so migrants believe they cannot easily be tracked down and deported.
