Summary:

Seventeen men between ages 16 and 35 were discovered stowed away in the back of an articulated lorry at the Port of Dover. After some people heard banging coming from the lorry on board the ferry. The Kent Police were called and paramedics also rushed to the scene when the suspected illegal immigrants were found suffering from exhaustion and badly dehydrated. After being treated by the paramedics, the immigrants were taken away for questioning, and if they have no legal right to be in the country they will be exported. The police has aprehended the 53-year old Polish man who was driving the vehicle.

Personal Opinion:

The article is a bit vague. The reader does not get all the facts necessary to form a proper, educated opinion. For instance: were they there voluntarily or was this human trafficking? I believe that they should be able to stay just because they had to go through all that to get out of their own country in the first place. Then again, if that would be the case with all illegals found in a country I guess it would be incredibly overpopulated, which is probably why I am not in charge of these things. I say “Let Elian stay!”.
