I really don't understand conservatives in 🇺🇸&🇬🇧 who demand a crackdown on illegal immigration but also refuse to even consider any national ID system or population register because that would be 'big government'.
You cannot have well-controlled immigration and small government.

This is the point 🇫🇷 are making by saying 🇬🇧 is making itself "attractive" to migrants crossing the channel.
The "attraction" is the lack of a national ID system and population register in UK which makes it easier to live/work illegally than in continental Europe, which has IDs.

In 🇺🇸, Republicans in Arizona enacted controversial "papers please" law which mandated police to ask for legality proof from anyone suspected of being an ilelgal immigrant (aka, non-white).
You cannot ask that if there isn't a requirement for *everyone* to carry a national ID.

The opposition to national IDs is an anglophone phenomenon. As far as I'm aware there is no English-speaking country that has them.
But every country in continental Europe has them.
Comes from an aversion to "big government". But small government means less immigration control
