France’s prime minister on Monday visited a migrant shelter in Calais. The city is perceived as a flashpoint in Europe’s migrant crisis, despite drawing a mere fraction of the 300,000 people who have fled to the continent so far this year. Security has been tightened, and now the British home secretary also wants to bar EU citizens who don't have a firm job offer from entering Britain. Is an upcoming emergency meeting between European interior ministers doomed to fail even before it starts?
