Britain announces Calais 'secure zone' to curb migrants

By William James LONDON (Reuters) - Britain plans to create a 'secure zone' at the French port of Calais to protect lorries heading for England from migrants trying to enter the country illegally, interior minister Theresa May said on Tuesday. Migrants fleeing war, political turmoil and poverty make daily attempts to board lorries and trains heading for Britain, drawn by family ties, a growing economy and a perception that the British system treats migrants better than other countries.
