– Legal immigration going in 5 years from 200 000 people entering every year (supposedly) to 10 000 (a factor cut of 20) (This is your answer, Samseau).

– Suppression of the family reunification. Basically you can't have your family come to France to be with you, even though you are working here.

– Drastically reducing the number of asylum seekers admitted to stay in France

– Suppressing Schengen. France will take back the control of its borders.

– Reducing the maximal length of residence permit from 10 to 3 years with a strict control of the conditions to get it. (Isn't this way too drastic, Samseau?)

– Renegociating the European Convention on Human Rights

– Removing the jus solis. Double nationality not allowed, except when it's the nationality of another european country.

– Kicking out every person who enters or stays illegally on the french soil. No medical help for clandestine immigrants.

– Making it forbidden by the law to legalize people who are already clandestine.

– Forbiding every single manifestation of clandestines, or in favor of clandestines.

– Anti-French racism will be considered as an aggravated circumstance in every legal case.

– Kicking out every person recognized guilty by the law, and have her serve time in his/her country of origin.

– Application of national priority. When the skills are equal, give the job to french citizens. When renting a flat, house, etc, if the social situation is the same, give it to french people first (really?????). No welfare at all for families who don't have at least one parent who is French

– Creating a minister of the Interior, of Immigration and Secularism. It will give every trimester numbers and stats about how many residence permits were issued, naturalizations granted, and expulsions done.

– Cooperate with African and developing countries only if they agree to do their share about migrations flux and deportations to the home country.

– Ban communautarism and assimilate through school first. Add to the constitution "France does not recognize any community".



While I do agree about the illegal immigration, I think it's way too harsh for legal immigrants.

The problem is immigration. The distinction between legal and illegal is a red herring and completely irrelevant. The only two things that matter is how many people are coming, and from where. 200k illegal polish immigrants is better than 200k legal Indian immigrants is better than 200k legal Muslim immigrants. No immigrants at all of course being the best scenario of all.

Also, everything else being equal, the government of FRANCE should of course give priority to FRENCH citizens over foreignera. Could anything possibly be more obvious than that?
