Trouble is
- Uk more desirable; people coming over more like to speak English than French, easier to find informal work, more likely they'll be able to stay in the uk longterm, harder to return them to the eu. All this bigged up by the people smugglers so they get more trade.
- not in france's interests to put that much effort in as it gets rid of a problem for them. Also france govt in chaos right now.
All a bit late now. Might have helped if:
Don't have done brexit. Don't have invaded and fucked up afghan and iraq. Don't have toppled assad. Don't have stripped immigration processing capacity to the bone.
I'm sure reform will sort it out.
