An illegal immigrant is seen reflected in a mirror outside a makeshift hut in woodland where he camps with other immigrants near the harbor of Calais northern France, Sunday, Nov. 23, 2008. The borders of Europe may be expanding but thousands of migrants continue to smuggle themselves across the whole of Europe, risking everything in their attempt to reach Britain which they call "the promised land.". Hundreds of refugees mostly from Afganistan, Pakistan and Iran have spent up to ten thousand dollars and several months on harrowing journeys to this port town of Calais, just thirty kilometers to Britain across the English Channel.
