Do you feel sorry for the migrants trying to get into the UK?

Nihal

Available for over a year

Fifteen hundred migrants tried to cross into Britain at the Channel Tunnel terminal in Calais and one was killed as a result of that - the ninth death since June. Previously, it was two thousand migrants trying to get into the tunnel and that has led to some people saying the army should be brought in. These migrants mainly come from countries like Ethiopia, Eritrea, Sudan and Afghanistan. Should we help them more? Are we taking enough responsibility for what's driving them out of their countries? Or do we need to show that Britain isn't a soft touch when it comes to migrants? Listen to the caller reaction.
