...Nicolas Sarkozy, then France's Interior Minister, ordered shut a Red Cross refugee center in the Calais suburb of Sangatte after British officials complained that thousands were using it as a base to organize crossings to England by jumping on trucks or walking through the Eurotunnel. Sarkozy, whose tough stance against illegal immigration helped build his career and win him the French presidency, claimed that Calais would soon be empty of would-be immigrants.

There's also a terrific shoot-out in the rain that deserves a spot in the Movie Car Chase Hall of Fame next to the stunt action under...

The egregious faults with the current CORI system significantly damage the lives of innocent civilians and former convicts alike.
