What he forgets to mention is that all the populatons of overseas French colonies are considered to be 100% French and thus have the right to move to France if they wish... and then are able to move anywhere else in the EU.

Re: France 'has too many foreigners'
 

Maybe we should do the same from tomorrow. That could save us a few quid :)

Re: France 'has too many foreigners'
 

We're not in Schengen, and never have been.

Re: France 'has too many foreigners'
 

He's just stating the obvious IMHO, France is full of French people... :D

Re: France 'has too many foreigners'
 

At least france has a coherant immigration policy

Re: France 'has too many foreigners'
 

If it does, why does France's President say there are too many foreigners in France? ;)

Re: France 'has too many foreigners'
 

He's fighting a losing battle for the presidency and is now so desperate he's trying to appeal to the far right?

Re: France 'has too many foreigners'
 

Either because he's a racist, xenophobe or he's hoping enough French people are to keep him in power. Odd how someone apparently so in favour of EU integration should now seem so against one of its key facets. :confused: :rolleyes:

Re: France 'has too many foreigners'
 

Yeah, seemingly allow them to enter Eurostar trains and quietly look the other way while they disappear down the channel tunnel.

Re: France 'has too many foreigners'
 

Yes they have a "let them camp near the port, and turn a blind eye when they try get into Britain" policy

Re: France 'has too many foreigners'
 

I don't believe France was ever in harmony with EU immigration policy despite practically forcing it on all the other members ,the French repatriation of Romanies is proof of that

Re: France 'has too many foreigners'
 

France has never been in favour European integration. France has only ever been in favour of what's best for France. For the past 50 years or more, 'what's best for France' consists of running the EU, whilst making it look as if Germany, or some unelected idiot in Brussels, is actually doing it.

Sadly for France the wheels are coming off that wagon rather spectacularly now ... With the euro imploding it is increasingly obvious that it really is Germany, and only Germany, that has the economic and political ability to solve the problem.

what Chris said /\

Re: France 'has too many foreigners'
 

Not really, just go to Brussels, get the Eurostar and change train at Lille. UK is wide open, to all EU immigrants.

No passport is needed.

Re: France 'has too many foreigners'
 

We are the only country in the European Common Market who has ever obeyed the rules..everyone else regards them as a suggestion or for guidance.

Re: France 'has too many foreigners'
 

Sad little man desperate to cling to power and as the election draws nearer he will sink to lower and lower depths in his attempt to win. In someways i hope they do withdraw from a part of the EU as that will be the first step in it's total collapse.

Re: France 'has too many foreigners'
 

You're not suggesting the French take the bits of EU policy which suit them and ignore the rest are you? Quelle surprise!......:shocked: :D

Re: France 'has too many foreigners'
 

Immigration control is THE hot topic that could see him ousted.

His own background (son of Hungarian Pál István Ernő Sárközy de Nagy-Bócsa and Greek Jewish Andrée Jeanne Mallah) has added a little extra "piquancy" to his rise to the presidency of France. Many consider him to be an "aristocratic invader from the east", and his jewish roots make him a target for much muslim vitriol.

He was parachuted into most of his political positions whilst the voting populace knew nothing of him at all, and the political machine kept quiet until he was elected president.

The cr@p hit the fan when he married Bruni, who many regard as a "harlot".

Re: France 'has too many foreigners'
 

...and an Italian one at that ;)

Re: France 'has too many foreigners'
 

Not being funny, but at least France have the guts to say it, except for the UK, who just sit back and allow it to happen.

Its like a certain pierce of head gear that has been banned in France, the UK have allowed to continue to prevent any upsets.

Re: France 'has too many foreigners'
 

Unlike Mainland Europe, the Uk is not full of racists and Neo-Nazis, clearly they have fogotten how hard it was for us to kick the Nazis out of Europe!

If the French has sense, kick him out and vote for François Hollande (not the Hitler loving Marie Le Pen)

Next he would be praiseing the Nazi/Vichy Government and denounceing De Gaulle :D
