PARIS – It wasn't yet 8 a.m. when police knocked on Monique Pouille's door, searched her home and took her away — all because she recharged cell phones for illegal migrants.
The 59-year-old volunteer with several groups in the Calais region of northern France was put behind bars and interrogated for three hours before being freed.
The French government forbids aiding illegal migrants, and sets quotas for arrests of those who do as it tries to control growing clandestine immigration. This year's target: 5,000 arrests.

It’s really pathetic when our government is weaker than the French in dealing with illegal aliens.
Maybe word will get around and there wont be 5,000 of these lawbreakers to arrest.
>> Volunteers who assist illegal aliens feel tracked
Its not paranoia if they’re really after you. If not, its paranoia.

Do WE have any similar laws on the books?
A country that cares about its citizens, what a horrific concept.
Response: They should also feel a touch 'O'-The-Cat!'
Yeah, law enforcement tends to track lawbreakers! Big surprise Frenchy people?
I traveled to Paris on Thursday, 4 of my Mexican friends were detained. We had purchased Train tickets, pre paid hotels, airline tickets from Israel to Amsterdam, invested a lot of money to take a 30 day Holy Week tour for University students. They got yanked off a plane in Paris, and are learning Arabic in an Immigration Jail. Girls going from Chile to see friends in Switzerland, were pulled off and sent back to Chile. No one speaks English, and no explanations are given, there is an very hostile ANTI ethic feeling in Paris, beware...beware.
