British Taxpayers Pay to Fly Illegals Home (from France)...

A charter flight paid for by British and French taxpayers is set to fly to Afghanistan today carrying around 250 illegal migrants arrested near Calais.

As well as a seat on the plane, at an estimated cost of £500 each, many of those on board will receive £1,900 in cash and a guarantee of retraining in their homeland.
However, there will be nothing to prevent any of them travelling back the moment they get to Kabul.

The flight, which will begin in London, is intended to be the first of many which will end up costing millions of pounds, split equally between France and Britain.

The main aim will be to try to reduce the mounting number of migrants massing in Calais, which they use as a springboard to reach Britain where they will claim asylum or disappear into the black economy.

The development follows last month's clearing of The Jungle, a notorious Calais squatter camp which was filled with mainly young men from Afghanistan.
French immigration minister Eric Besson was criticised after almost all those arrested were released.

It now appears that a compromise has been reached with many agreeing to accept the huge cash incentive to go home, if only briefly.

The sum involved will be worth hundreds of times more in Afghanistan than it is in Europe.
The French pulled out of a similar voluntary deportation scheme a year ago, with First Lady Carla Bruni among those insisting that it was immoral to send Afghans back to their war-torn country.

But now such arguments appear to have been quietly forgotten with the first plane, believed to be being supplied by a British firm, taking off from London in the early hours before stopping to pick up some 250 migrants in Paris.

They will then be flown to Kabul accompanied by police and security guards, again mainly believed to be British as French unions have refused to take part.
