Great Wall of Calais

Construction will begin shorty on the 'Great Wall of Calais'. It will cost the taxpayer £2million in an attempt to prevent migrants from crossing the Channel.
Do you think this is a waste of taxpayer pesos?
What is your opinion on the matter?

I would rather we paid France 2 million to demolish the Jungle and move everybody to the other end of their country.

Mexico will pay for it! By the time we build it, Mexico will have become experts at finding good deals for materials.
£2m really isn't much. Not really a big deal, just a big wall to stop migrants from climbing onto trucks.
If immigrants really are as big a problem as they say, why dont the police just shoot them? Its all political BS.

Where will they build a wall? Over the sea? They should just block the under wather tunnel and the problem is solved.

Slaughtering thousands of innocent people is generally considered a pretty horrific solution.
You know, I'm all for escaping warzones for a better life and if what has happened in Germany and France didn't, my opinion would be of the "It's a stupid idea" kind. However, because of the sheer amounts of attack and rape that has happened, combined with the fact that we can't seem to say anything against them but they can do whatever they want (even someone being able to drape themselves in a Isis flag in Westminister but a **** isis flag being told is wrong) changes my opinion. I am know on the side that supports it. Yes, many of the refugees are genuine and the extremists are a minority however we can't risk it. There religion and ideologies does not work with ours. They shouldn't have to come to the UK.

TLDR. Build it, I support it, **** extremists.

They are criminals, so not exactly innocent.

Although I would personally just deport them all.

You sound a little conflated.

They'd just come back.

The only thing more amazing than their obsession with getting into the UK is the people who think their sheer bloodymindedness should be rewarded with an open door.

Although I'd love to see how they'd defeat the wall, as they'll inevitably try to.

There's a lot of European coastline for them to try illegal crossings.
