How many refugee camps does France have? Let me answer you: 0 Refugees are victims of the war. If they wanted to involve violence, they would not be refugees looking for home. Why to see them as potential terrorists ?

That's not true, France does have refugee camps.

  I volunteered two different refugee camp constructions in Syrian border and I know the difference between a refugee camp and a homeless camp clearly.

        Compounding terror with terror. Doubly sad.

      That's a queue to get to Britain. It's a weird effect of inter-EU collaboration that Britain's borders effectively start at the coast of France.

      I wonder about the etymology behind the term "jungle" here. Is it derived from the slang term that train hoppers and other people in hobo culture use for the temporary, makeshift residences they hold in the woods near train yards during travel?

I don't know the views and concerns in France, I've only followed the responses to the Charlie Hedbo shooting and other media incidents in France. That said, the views and conversations with in-laws in Germany, it's interesting hearing what are otherwise inclusive people being concerned about things and not supporting the refugees. The events are most likely unrelated, but there is a habit to generalize. And escalation of that generalization is what is a concern to me.
