According to a new report 300,000 illegal migrants are currently being crammed into one French suburb.
A SUBURB of Paris has 300,000 illegal immigrants crammed into it, according to a parliamentary report.
Politicians have warned Seine-Saint-Denis, north east of Paris, could be turned into a “huge ethnic ghetto†within two decades due to the surging numbers.
The report said the suburb – just six miles from the Eiffel Tower – is putting a huge strain on public services and creating social tensions.
There are an estimated 135 different nationalities in Saint-Denis, most extremely poor, including an estimated 600,000 Muslims from North African or sub-Saharan African backgrounds, the Daily Mail reported.
But the numbers continue to rise, as an estimated 80 migrants arrive in Paris every 24 hours — 550 a week.
After the break-up of the refugee camp in Calais, thousands of migrants moved to suburbs in the capital where charities say hundreds of children are sleeping rough.
