They are exactly where the "ANTI IMMIGRATION" lobbyists want.
They may even be infiltrated by far right agents who instigate the trigger

Five migrants shot in Calais as police break up fight after meal distribution
Two fights began, with some people using sticks, stones and iron bars, after a meal distribution in the port town.
12:00, UK,Friday 02 February 2018
At least five migrants have been shot in Calais after fighting broke out following meal handouts.
It is not clear how the migrants, many of them teenagers, were wounded, but one of them is understood to have been shot in the head and is now said to be fighting for his life.
According to reports, around 200 Eritreans fought with about 30 Afghan migrants and police tried to break up two brawls, one of which is understood to have gone on for two hours.
Agence France Presse said four injured boys were Eritreans aged between 16 and 18. They have been taken to hospital.
It is not yet clear who fired the bullets.
Local reports put the number of wounded at five, and say four of them are in a critical condition.
La Voix Du Nord claims a dozen people were injured in the fighting, and said residents witnessed fighting with iron bars.
Other reports say 100 migrants fought with sticks and stones after the meal distribution in the French northern port.
Another three people have suffered head injuries - some of these apparently inflicted with metal bars.
The second fight broke out at an industrial estate around three miles away.
Interior Minister Gerard Collomb confirmed five of the victims were injured by gunfire, and blamed "totally organised" gangs.
He said that two extra police units were en route to Calais amid growing tensions between migrant groups.
French minister: Migration crisis is equally the UK's problem
Although the infamous jungle camp was demolished more than a year ago, there are still hundreds of migrants waiting at the port to attempt to get into the UK.
The French government has insisted Britain should do more to tackle the migrant crisis, and it was a talking point for Theresa May and her French counterpart Emanuel Macron when they met earlier this year.

Frank Mujabi/ Afuwa kasule/ Mayimuna/ Abbey Semewambai/ Edward Mo irundrua/ Gwokto,--The violence at Calais in France breaks out again. The Jungle was cleared sometime last year, but the migrants simply moved a few miles away. There is now an estimated 800 migrants trying to cross the Channel and get into the UK.But herein lies the problem the UK has with muslims: How can the UK allow in some of these individuals who are armed and are clearly very dangerous? How can the immigration services seperate jihadists from among the young Afghan muslim men camping in Calais, hoping to smuggle themselves into the UK? Refugees never carry guns, and rarely resort to violence.Left to me, I would not allow any of the Afghan muslims into the UK. Let France deal with them.BobbyFour migrants in critical condition after Calais brawl
Casualties were shot during fight involving Afghans and EritreansFour teenage migrants were in critical condition after being shot and more than a dozen others were injured, some seriously, during clashes in the northern French port of Calais between Afghans and Africans, local authorities said.Some 22 people were hospitalised Thursday, according to an official total, including four Eritreans aged between 16 and 18 who needed surgery, local prosecutors said. Another wounded migrant was taken to the nearby city of Lille because of his "very serious state of health," the local prefect's office said."We have reached an escalation of violence that has become unbearable for both those from Calais and migrants," said interior minister Gerard Collomb during a visit to one of the sites of the clashes. "This is a level of violence never seen before."Two police officers were also injured during the clashes.A nearly two-hour fight broke out on the southern outskirts of Calais among about 100 Eritreans and some 30 Afghans who had been queueing for food handouts. It started when an Afghan fired shots.A second fight then broke out at an industrial site around three miles (5km), with more than a hundred Eritreans armed with iron rods and sticks fighting about 20 Afghans, prosecutors said."Police intervened to protect the Afghan migrants faced with 150 to 200 Eritrean migrants," the local prefecture said, adding that security reinforcements were being deployed in the area.Further violence broke out late afternoon in an industrial area of Calais.A migrant receives medical assistance following clashes in Calais.

A year earlier in June, 40 people were injured in clashes in the northern port town which draws migrants trying to cross the Channel into Britain.The notorious "Jungle" camp in Calais, once home to about 10,000 people hoping to make it to Britain, was demolished in 2016, but hundreds of migrants remain in the port city seeking to stow away on trucks bound for England.Those left, most of them young African and Afghan men, have been living rough in the woods and clash regularly with police. Grim living conditions have led to regular confrontations between migrants of different nationalities; five people were shot in a fight between rival Afghan groups last November.Charities working with migrants in the area say around 800 are living in Calais, while local authorities put the numbers at 550-600.Last month, the French president, Emmanuel Macron, vowed zero tolerance for camps such as the Jungle and secured a new border security deal with Britain which will pay more to stop migrants trying to reach its shores.Macron has said he wants to step up expulsions of economic migrants while speeding up waiting times for asylum applications – an approach he touts as mixing "humanity" and "efficiency".But his tougher line has earned criticism from some of his allies, with his former senior aide Jean Pisano-Ferry among those signing a hard-hitting open letter claiming Macron risked betraying his image as a humanist.
