The dramatic images were captured as an ominous report by MigrationWatch: Dying to get into Britain: Four desperate migrants are killed in Calais in just one week as they target lorries bound for UK Migrants are risking their lives jumping onto lorries at Calais to enter UK Four died in Calais in just one week, and more are feared EU migration ‘will bring enough people to fill Manchester every four years’ Blind to the danger, a gang of would-be immigrants run to board a moving lorry. To them it is a passport to a new life in Britain. In fact it is a potential death trap. Four other migrants died in just one week in Calais, it emerged last night, and scenes like the one pictured are being repeated every day at the French port. * Warned immigration from the EU will bring enough people to fill a city the size of Manchester here every four years; * Called for ministers to deny migrants access to Britain’s generous system of in-work benefits, such as tax credits, for the first five years they are here. In Calais, hundreds of migrants from outside the EU are living in a camp yards from the perimeter fence of the port. Charities say there are more than 600 in the town, the greatest number since the closure of the Red Cross camp at Sangatte in 2002 – and they are taking advantage of gaps in security and a minimal police presence. On March 9 an Albanian man was killed on a motorway outside the town. Three days later, Ethiopian Mesfin Germa was hit by a lorry as he walked to the port. The body of a 25-year-old Ethiopian man, Senay Berthay, was found in Calais’s  Batellerie dock on March 14 and the next day a fellow Ethiopian in his 20s was crushed to death by a car while hiding on a  vehicle transporter. It is thought he had been among a group of three men who got on the truck and then realised it was going in the wrong direction. A French police spokesman said: ‘The Polish driver heard a noise and stopped suddenly. One of the vehicles on board his truck backed into the stowaway and killed him. He was left lying in a pool of blood.’ http://diretribune.com/?p=7471
