IT is a sad but undeniable truth that among the thousands of mostly single young men who illegally cross the Channel and demand a home on UK soil are some who are the worst kind of migrants.
They are by definition law-breakers the moment they step ashore.
They are shipped here by ruthless criminal gangs.
A worrying number are themselves gangsters who vanish instantly off the radar.
Others, in limbo while their mainly bogus asylum claims are processed, create an instant, rootless culture of uninvited guests with scant respect for the law of the land or its codes of civil conduct.
