Telegraph- France threatens to arrest Britons who stop migrant crossings

Go to war over it and hurry up about it.

Maybe someone can help me out here. What motivation does France have to stop migrants from LEAVING France?

Arresting Brits who attempt to stop the process are more damaging to France than migrants leaving. To be honest, if I were representing France and this issue came up, it would be a no-brainer. There are non-residents applying vigilante justice, NOT because migrants are leaving France, BUT those same migrants are entering the UK. Which suggests that they are welcome to try and keep them out of their country, but not from the beaches of Calais.

If the frogs did their job on securing their own borders, the migrants wouldn’t be there, and british citizens wouldn’t have to do that to secure their own borders.
It’s not that difficult of a concept, do yer own job so others won’t have to to protect themselves from your failures.
You usually have good posts, but this one and your crap about MJ, do not cut it.

  Politics are cyclical. Take the US as an example. We just had four years of a political philosophy of allowing any and all illegal immigrants into the country. Now, we want them to leave. So, for argument’s sake, suppose one day thousands upon thousands of illegal immigrants decided to self-deport to another more inviting (and financially advantageous country). Let’s use Canada as an example. Here’s my question:
  
  “Is it the responsibility of the US to arrest, detain, or otherwise disallow those illegal immigrants from self-deporting themselves to Canada?”
  
  Now, altruistically speaking you could make a moral argument for doing just that. However, you could, also, make the argument that the US doesn’t much care where they go. Just as long as they don’t stay here. And, you could, also, argue that Canada’s political climate right now encourages the very behavior from illegal immigrants that the US (in its current political climate) is trying to discourage.
  
  I, certainly, understand that France isn’t exactly trying to discourage illegal immigrants. But, even they would have to admit that the cons strongly outweigh the pros if you separate them from their virtue signaling nonsense, and remove the ulterior motives for that policy. And, as I pointed out, I don’t think France is heartbroken to see illegal immigrants leaving their country and deciding that the UK has greener pastures. The Brits that are challenging these small boat operations are doing so on French soil. I can guarantee if my above example was a reality and a bunch of Canadians crossed the Canadian/ US border to keep illegal immigrants from coming to Canada because your border patrol wasn’t doing their jobs, we’d give your Canadian patriots a one way ticket back to Canada if we didn’t fine them or jail them first.
