One of the frontrunners in the French presidential election, far-right leader Marine Le Pen, says she would suspend all legal immigration to France.
The National Front(FN) leader told a rally that she wanted to stop "a mad, uncontrolled situation".
Polls suggest she is neck and neck with centrist Emmanuel Macron, ahead of Sunday's first round of voting.
Mr. Macron warned voters that choosing far-left candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon would be like Cuba without the sun........
At a rally in Paris, Ms. Le Pen said "I would decide on a moratorium on all legal immigration to stop this frenzy, this uncontrolled situation that is dragging us down."
After that she said, France would introduce "much more drastic, more reasonable, more humane, more manageable rules" on immigration..........

The only question is who will face her in the second round, the globalist front man Macon, the globalist "conservative" Fillon or the commie front man Melenchon.
The polls give all three a chance at second as I see it,
France, last chance.
An interesting development, for sure.
Sounds a lot like Trump’s plan.
If she were to suspend immigration a Judge in Hawaii would ....
Saw it reported somewhere that in one of the latest polls 72% of those who chose Mme Le Pen were certain to vote, but for M Macron it was only 55%. However, the polls have it very close now for all four main contenders.
Well, we know how much we can trust the polls, right?
Le Pen must win France. It would be a decisive victory towards the anti-globalist movement.
What will be the strongest impulse, being a Francophile or a Liberal??? Outside of Paris I am guessing the former.
France, last chance.

France won’t take it. They are too mired in socialism, and the muslim population is too great already.
I say the firmness of her support plus hidden support not shown in the polls puts her in first place hands down.
The question is who’s second.
Macron hits 22 percent with Fillon and Melenchon each at 19.5-20 percent range.
All three have a shot.
Second round polling rates Macron best against Le Pen, then Melenchon with Fillon having the weakest numbers.
But how skewed and inaccurate are those polls, too.
In the last months, French polls went out and discovered two facts that make this one of the more unusual elections in French history.
1. Normally...20-percent of registered French voters stay home. It’s done on a Sunday...so it’s hard to say that you were working. Well, one of the polls discovered that around 35-percent say that they might stay home. Reason generally given is that they are unhappy with the five primary candidates.
2. Right now...several polls are saying that roughly 30-percent of the public have NOT made up their mind, with seven days roughly left in the election.
Right now, just based on comments by a wide range of French people...I’d say that Le Pen probably has enough to win here in the primary round, and I think that Fillon might shock some people...maybe edging out “Empty Suit” Macron. In a Fillon versus Le Pen...it’s really a hard election because Fillon says he’ll dismiss a large segment of the civil servant employees within the government (500,000). A lot of people would like to see government size decreased and only Fillon says he’ll do it.
I wonder how much vote fraud is going to figure in this race? The 500,000 duplicate ballots sent out due to a “computer glitch” stinks, especially since it went to areas strongly against Le Pen.
She does not poll as well with people in foreign countries where those duplicate ballots went to.
Does the French system have coalition governments formed in the absence of a majority?
I’m reading a history of France from Napoleon to now, and you cannot find a time when the French have ever really been governable since Waterloo. This is just the old fissures De Gaulle managed to paste over breaking through again.
I think if the left wins this, the “provinces” will revolt.
And seeing French history, it is a roll of the dice as to how it will turn out.
If France want to save itself then they will need to get rid of the Muslims not bring them by the boat load
Far right? She is a socialist but at least she gets immigration right. Come on France elect Marine Le Pen!
The only poll which counts will be on Sunday.
I expect the French Establishment to try every bit of election fraud they can.
The problem is that in the second round, all the other parties coalesce around the candidate not named Le Pen. It will be hard for her to get a majority. The system is rigged against parties outside the main three.
After which Presdient Trump was heard to mutter under his breath like Jerry Seinfeld, “Good luck with all that.”
