UKIP's Steven Woolfe MEP rejects claims that Britain

 is to blame for Migrant troubles in Calais
Posted on October 28

Steven Woolfe MEP, the UKIP Immigration spokesman

 has rejected claims that Britain is at fault for the level

 of immigration.

"I can sympathize with Madame Bouchart as she is on

 the frontline of Europe’s migration problem as a locally

 elected official. From her experience it is evident that

 even though Britain has not signed the Schengen

 Agreement, this country is adversely affected by

 the lack of European and French action on migration.

"However, the problem she highlights is not one of the

 British welfare system, but of the way in which it can

 be misused. Welfare in the UK should be there for our

 own citizens, who have paid in, or whose family have

 paid in. It is not something for anybody turning up at

 our borders to be able to access.
