Immigrants target Europe's 'back door' - 02 Nov 07

A French island in the Indian Ocean is being targeted by immigrants trying to find a back door into Europe from Africa. 

The island of Mayotte lies between Madagascar and Mozambique.

And thousands of hopeful immigrants make the perilous 70 kilometre crossing from the nearby island of Anjouan searching for a better life.

Nick Clark reports from Mayotte in the Indian Ocean.

i think all the immigrants should be sent back no questions asked just leave

Africans are not capable people! That's why they want to come to Europe because they want everything to be easy as pie! They know that there are much more jobs here in Europe than that are in Africa. It's all their fault! They elected their governments! Why should we suffer for their mistake? They should just correct it. Instead of making Civil wars they should over throw their government and start a fresh! We don't want to hold their hands and do everything for them! LEAVE US ALONE LAZY PEOPLE

It's false, they're don't elect the governement, Illegal entries on the territory, how it??? The France took in a illegal way the Mayotte island, her l 'a stolen in from the Comores archipelago by simulating democracy and in spite of international law. The alleged Comoran without papers are the cousins, the brothers, the mothers, the aunts of the inhabitants of Mayotte Island(by leaving sides 5 % of subway). To divide to reign better, the France has certain interests in Mayotte ...
