Throughout the British channel, Beckon of England’s white rocks. On the beautiful days, men and women who are determined in their arms and their eyes can see the shores of their belief that they will be a promised land when they try to try a dangerous passage, and leave the goods to abandon the bruises from North France to inflatable boats. With a flash, in a recent attempt, the French police came in with knives, entered the water and cut in the thin rubber of the boat – literally extinguishing the hopes and dreams of the immigrants.
