  1. Well, that answers my question as to WHERE these ‘jungle” squatting migrants are supposed to go … into shipping containers ! Beautiful ! Put them all into shipping containers … ready to load-onto container ships for a nice SAFE, cozy ride back to their Arab Spring homelands. Problem solved !

  2. Trust the French.
    I seem to recall some use of shipping containers for housing unwanted people back in the 90s.
    Kosovo? maybe.

  3. Earlier, Good Chance, a theatre group which works in the camp […]
    Well. I’m sure that will help.

  4. Not shipping containers,there now called “Tiny Houses” so good for the environment

  5. are these the surplus shipping containers featured on Dragon’s Den that were refitted with living and working quarters? portable construction site offices and such. IIRC the idea took off. what a great opportunity to try it out on a huge scale; get the ‘bugs’ out of the design for the day when 98% of the worlds population will be forced to live in them because of kleptocracy.

  6. It used to be that “refugees” were people desperate to leave whatever hellhole they they came from, they tended to be grateful to who ever offered them asylum. These days it seems the term “refugees” means able body 20-30 something males shopping around for a more generous welfare state. May you live in interesting times.

  7. Yeah lance, Mexico has much much much harsher immigration laws than we do already, but I guess that Mexico will be offended at our moral failure if we have the same kinds of laws they do and will hold it against us if in the event of some kind of huge catastrophe. By your logic we don’t even have a country. And BTW, can anybody walk across the border into Canada, get a job, start working, vote without going through any kind of process? Get on your health care system? Not learn the language? Exist outside the criminal justice system?
    Good fences make good neighbors. I will take my chances on Yellowstone, thank you so much for your concern lance.
