Migrant families will be provided with new places

The decision was taken after the French Government listed several ways to curb immigration. The camps mostly include migrants from various families from Afghanistan and sub-Saharan Africa. However, Christophe Castaner who is the Interior Minister said that the government will take care of the interests of the migrants and 16,000 locations will be provided to the migrants in three migrant centers to avoid migrants from settling in new places. According to the reports of Le Figaro, each and every individual will be provided with support. The ones who have received approval will be provided with asylums and those denied will be deported back to their mainland.
