We can see that whole governments and organisations can suffer from a group Cognitive Dissonance. Maybe it’s a different virus?
Deport the scums until they don’t come back to France

Tattoo’d with PNG I hope, else they will be returning on their cousins passport.
Maybe they could be marked with a radioactive RFD, then when they enter a European Airport alarms would go off! Nice.
