France Gets Tough on Immigration
And very few are complaining, says the Times:
Under the new rules, highly skilled immigrants will be favoured over those coming to France to join family. The government will also have greater powers to expel illegal immigrants. “We no longer want immigration that is inflicted on us,” said Sarkozy, the son of a Hungarian immigrant, whose “zero tolerance” policing and American campaigning techniques have shaken up French politics.
Muslim groups were infuriated, interpreting it as a blow to north Africans in favour of Asian job seekers.
The relatively mild response from the left, however, suggested a change of mood in France...
French opinion really is changing,” said Nicolas Baverez, an economist and author. “People understand that we must make radical changes if we are to continue to have an influence in the world.”
Same thing needs to happen on our own borders: radical change!
