France will not welcome more refugees than the 30,000 it has pledged to host within the next two years as part of a broader European Union plan, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said on Thursday.
"It won't be more," Valls said on France 2 television. "We cannot welcome to Europe all those who flee Syria's dictatorship."
The 28-country EU plans to take a total 160,000 refugees.
"Immigration has always been an opportunity for our country (...) but all this must be mastered, organized," Valls said.
He said that France was already welcoming 200,000 citizens a year through family reunification, student programs and economic migration.
On Monday, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development warned Europe could expect a record one million people to request asylum this year as refugees flee war Syria and Iraq. Almost half of that million will likely qualify for asylum, it said.

At the EU Summit Hollande excoriated the Eastern countries, asking openly how they could even consider themselves "European"
Yet this hypocrite is taking only 30,000 over two years.
They’ve drawn the line at only 2300 more burning cars next spring. That’ll learn em.
The use of the term “mastered” indicates to me the incoming Muslims might not enjoy the welcome planned for them after the events of the past few weeks.
I think Europe has had enough. And might even be getting smart.
Okay, maybe just a little less dumb.
France is lost already with millions of enemy hostiles on her land thanks to the French ruling elite selling out their country. Repatriate them quickly or kiss your anes goodbye.
Teddy Kennedy burns in He!!
Well, eventually the door will close. In fact it’s already closing, then these refugees(inside and outside) will tear the walls down and tramp all over Europe. It will get bloody.
Isn’t France more or less this size of a large US state?
30,000??????
Does France have a death wish?
Or, approximately 205 of the U.S.’s population. We’ve said 200K in the next two years, which means France is actually taking in relatively fewer than we are.

They’re disarmed, who cares what they want?
I bet many Swiss are shaking their heads and thinking to themselves, “thank God we did not cave into the Left’s demands to join the EU and be faced with a stampede like this”. Am I right to make this sort of assumption?
Switzerland already has the highest percentage of foreigners in Europe. Of course, many of those are French, German or Italian, but there’s also loads of muzzies and Balkan riff-raff. It is hardly an island of tranquility in a sea of madness.
They’ll get around to haranguing the US to take up the slack and Captain Midnight will oblige them.
Hell, we’ll move the entire third world here.
Has B Hussein raised it to 200k now? Geez...
Keep in mind that France, Italy, et al have borne the brunt of the other 350-400k illegals that have already crossed the Med this year.
But we traditionally take more refugees than the rest of the world combined.
And they will be very rude to them also.
Do we indeed? That makes the comment “which means France is actually taking in relatively fewer than we are” seem kinda odd....
