Why would you need that if they are caught in a lorry arriving from France ? Rather obvious that they have travelled through numerous safe countries. That apart, many attempt/refuse to give fingerprints ( this is a legal right in France ) which is why so many of the determined migrants around Calais refuse to have any contact ( like hostel accommodation ) with French authorities.
