But it remains unclear how the government will prevent migrants from returning to Calais.<\/p>\n<p>Skeptics say the plan to demolish \u201cThe Jungle\u201d is a publicity stunt that will temporarily displace the migrants but will not resolve the underlying problem \u2014 that French officials refuse either to deport illegal migrants or else to secure the country\u2019s borders to prevent illegal migrants from entering France in the first place.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gatestoneinstitute.org\/9044\/france-migrants-jungle\" target=\"_blank\">Continue Reading Here<\/a>\u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The French government has pledged to dismantle &#8220;The Jungle,&#8221;
