Calais migrants:France begins to clear ‘Jungle’ camp

Summary
More than 1200 police and officials in France have started a plan to clear the “Jungle” camp in Calais. At least 7000 people has been living in the camp in unclean conditions. Some coaches carry migrants to refugee centers across France. But some migrants will refuse to go because they want to get to the UK. The UK has started to accept some of around 1300 unaccompanied children from the camp. There are two reasons that migrants want to go to the UK. One is that many migrants believe that it is easier to find jobs in the UK. Another is that many of them can speak English but cannot speak European languages.

Opinion
I hadn’t known that there is the “Jungle” migrant camp in France until I read this article. In my image to France, France is the elegant and urbanized country. This problem is not close to me, so it is out of reality for me. But if I were in the situations of migrants in Calais, I wouldn’t want to go too. Because I want to choose an option which has a better prospect of finding jobs and I am afraid of being taken to a country where I cannot get through what I say to its people. Any person has human rights. For every person’s happy life, we have to protect human rights. I think so.
