CALAIS , France, Sept. 26 (UPI) -- French President Francois Hollande outlined plans to dismantled Calais' controversial migrant camp during a visit to the city Monday.
Last week Hollande called on authorities to shut down the 40-acre encampment in Calais, near the English Channel, nicknamed "The Jungle." An estimated 9,000 migrants, largely from the Middle East, reside there in squalid conditions, and the camp is regarded as an illegal entry point to Britain.
