Now the home secretary has ordered UK border control officers, working at the Eurotunnel terminal in Coquelles, in the"pas de Calais" area, to take fingerprints of migrants they find trying to board trains illegally.The Home Office said registering fingerprints may assist in returning people to France - via an EU law called the Dublin Regulation - should they later make a successful crossing into the UK.
"That is quite a challenge, particularly if they really don't want to have their fingerprints taken," she said. "That's quite a lot of avenue to fight back if that's what they want to do. I'm very concerned about the levels of violence that will result and the fact that there will be, eventually, staff and migrants injured."Migrants used to have their fingerprints taken by UK Border Force officers at the port in Calais, but the practice was stopped in 2010 and was also later abandoned at Coquelles.
I doubt they will care, documenting migrants seems pretty fair in return for shelter, especially if they have no ID etc. Security must come first, does not mean we have to be nasty about like the US are, just secure. Think the union's here are getting worked up over nothing
Trying to escape 'unbearable conditions'..... in France 😂
Shazza1uk Save all the hassle and just turn the boats around.
Leave them in France cancel euro tunnel trains.
Arm them. Sorted
Simple dont bring them ashore take them straight back to france.
You'd almost be forgiven for thinking these law abiding, decent people have no intention of committing any crime and therefore don't feel the need to be identified. 🙄
Do as the Roman’s fo in Rome
Don't you mean 'largely peaceful fingerprinting'?
Send them back then, if they want to travel through several safe countries to come here and abuse our benefit system then they have to obey the rules
So the immigrants are partial to violence huh? Who’d have guessed.
I wish we would house all these new migrants in the leafy areas the over paid BBC staff live in. Build their mosques there. Put their children in the “good” local schools. Let these woke pricks enjoy fully the diversity that is normally inflicted on poor areas.
tell you what Border FARCE ...actually become a FORCE ... and repel ALL of them , using FORCE ..they have NO legitimate reason to seek safety in the UK , all countries across the channel are deemed SAFE ..so F*k them off back whence they came
Why would they board trains when the French escort them into British waters and the UK Border Force taxi them into free benefits Britain the land of milk and honey for illegal migrants. Why don't they fill the paperwork in and apply for residency like normal people do?
Well , if you STOP allowing them / helping them onto our shores , you wont need to take fingerprints at all , will you?! .....durrrrrrr
And your point ?
FFS taking finger prints and DNA should have been a priority and taken from every immigrant/Asylum seeker as soon as they set foot on British soil.
So desperate to leave a safe country like France to get to the UK that they risk their lives crossing the Channel. And when they arrive here illegally, their first instinct is to not cooperate with UK Border Force. Speaks volumes about the intention to observe UK laws thereafter
There are many countries using finger prints like USA and China. We never heard any violence caused! Stop it, BBC!
It's their country
My my, BBC has finally reported on illegal immigration to the UK but the spin makes the BBC look out of touch with reality. Just like Corbyn and McDonnell and we know how that turned out. BBC buck up!
pjgoitre Then we refuse entry :)
It says border FORCE come on
pritipatel BorisJohnson ukhomeoffice 10DowningStreet Border force need to be able to deal with invaders -violence or not. Plz don't let this be another case of the recent riots whereby the police showed they wouldn't cope and not fit for purpose. Decent society is hopeless
Building Britain’s Caliphate, enemy of the people.
Should read, illegal immigrants will lose fingers if they mess about during fingerprinting.
No finger print, perhaps should come a recognised route and show a passport. Ah thought not!
Migrants come through the ports.
straight back in the water with them if that's the lack of respect they demonstrate
No prints then ship them back to wherever they came from. End of
Enough police will solve that.
Perhaps rename them to „Border Service Agents“?
Perhaps all the illegal economic migrants can go elsewhere if they can’t even tolerate finger prints being taken. defundthebbc
Do it
Another BBC news manipulation. DefundTheBBC
Apply Arabic law... cut their hands off ... problem solved.
No they will not just drag them back out to sea out of British waters in the same boats they came in then sink them no need for fingerprints problem solved
If someone breaks the law of most countries finger print I’d and photo is routine. If not and they went on to reoffend there would be outrage.
DefundTheBBC ScumMedia
Because they are escaping the savage country known as France
What’s your point
Didn't think of that?
Then violence right back at them then 😡🇬🇧
😡😡😳😆🤨😂😂😂
Deal with it
Will they run away like the police?
It looks like about 99% of the commenters have only managed to read the headline. Why do so many people seek to stay in a perpetual state of wilful ignorance?
Well Tazer the fuckers first.
So be it,it needs doing.make it a rule you want in the country we want to know who you are
Any violence results is automatic and immediate deportation. Change the law now.
Can’t understand why anyone would want to enter this racist hell hole.🤔
Fck em. Finger prints or drop em back off in France.
It may be a stupid question but why are we not dropping them back off at France?
AndrewBundy13 Jesus fucking Christ just read that headline back? They should be deported if not here legally, start building on the green belt to make room see how that changes the hard lefts stance
Only terrorists and criminals world fight IDing. Sendthemback
DefundtheBBC DefundBBC
If it does they should be trained to give it back with interest & any migrant using violence against any member of Border force, the police or a British citizen should face mandatory, immediate & permanent deportation. We owe them nothing but we should demand our laws are obeyed
Clearly they will need to take steps to minimise the threat of violence and be adequately prepared, trained and equipped to deal with it should it be threatened or occur. You know like any other country on the planet.
Immediate deport then.
Will quickly indicate who to not let in.
Really, In which case attatch protection
Why? They should be turned around so they can apply, you know, the legal route.
I hear broadcasters are circling the BBC for some rich pickings.
No need for this as dna can be used and police can use force to take fingerprints if they must.
they're trained to deal with it, they should be armed if necessary however they get the job done. don't need anymore rapists murderers or thieve here thankyou very much
All tourists to USA are electronically fingerprinted.
Need DNA swab as well.
TOUGH!Fingerprint or 360 & off you pop.. if on exit... just keep going. Obey the rules of the country you are choosing to / requesting to enter or find another country. No matter which country I go to I have no qualms with complying with requirements from visa etc to obeying laws
If you don't allow them to land, you won't need to fingerprint them. Solved
Close the boarder amd leave the criminals to rot
And? Finger prints are the least we can get from an illegal immigrants, if they destroy their IDs. Violence should not be tolerated at any case, we have enough violence in the UK with Antifa & BLM thugs.
Yeah, heaven forbid we don't instantly do what people want when they threaten violence. Jesus..I mean, is this the argument - don't protect the borders if invaders are violent?
If they do not want their finger prints take this should would be an automatic deportation back to France. After December i hope the Government tightens up illegal immigration from France.
BBC at it again pushing violence how come they finger print you as soon it get to italy and france no violence then no more paying BBC it's time the pedo enablers were taken down
That will be the second breaking of the law then and they've only just landed.
Will that violence come from largely peaceful offenders?
From who? I'm sure is the question is will you give us your finger prints or face an immediate hearing from deportation for not submitting an asylum or immigration application. Who will get violent?
That'll easily weed out criminal scum. Any violence and they're on the first return trip to Calais.
People love to have wonderful life in Europe. Never been forced like in the old time. Changing in the world of living.
I guess it harms their future criminality potential. Why the fuck are we allowing this? Totally weak. China must just laugh
Instant deportation in 24 hours then.
The clue is in the name, it's not Border Cuddle is it.
Who cares what a left wing union says, safety of resident's must come first.
Whoever commits violence must not be admitted
NoShitSherlock
Well restrain and handcuff them then, same as would happen to me if I was violent to a law enforcer.
No wonder the French navy escort them to British waters. They can't wait to get rid of them.
Probably an indication that they wont make model citizens.
Well that will help narrow down the undesirables...
Give them the right resources then it will be fine.
Isn’t that their job? Bit like saying chefs will encounter hot oil as they fry their chips.
U.K. citizens are use to having their fingerprints taken when visiting the US. If these people can’t accept it, then don’t let them in. Why should they get a get out clause?
If you have nothing to hide it shouldn't be a problem.
Border force who are basically a taxi service from France to Britain don't want to finger print their customers 😂
