French President Francois Hollande today promised that "France will remain a country of freedom," defending his decision to honor a commitment to accept migrants and refugees despite Friday's deadly terrorist attacks in Paris.
“Life should resume fully,†Hollande told a gathering of the country's mayors, who gave him a standing ovation. “What would France be without its museums, without its terraces, its concerts, its sports competitions?
"France should remain as it is. Our duty is to carry on our lives."
In the same spirit, he added, "30,000 refugees will be welcomed over the next two years. Our country has the duty to respect this commitment," explaining that they will undergo vigorous security checks.
Hollande noted that "some people say the tragic events of the last few days have sown doubts in their minds," but called it a "humanitarian duty" to help those people -- but one that will go hand in hand with "our duty to protect our people."
"We have to reinforce our borders while remaining true to our values," he said.

Marine Le Pen smiles and waits.
Can’t fix stupid.
oh good, then we don’t need them to come to the US
Fool!
Well, stupid is what stupid does. Just more gee-had troops hitting the beaches of Normandy.
What would France be without its museums, without its terraces, its concerts, its sports competitions?
Islamic.
It's too bad that politicians aren't the sole recipients of the results of their overwhelming stupidity.
Oh No , Hollande will have to give a bunch more speeches
Wow.....the DEFINITION of insanity.
Some people just insist on learning the hard way don’t they, usually at the expense of other lives.
Exactly, but after all, what else can one expect from a pure Socialist? I knew the stiff response to terrorism was only a passing fancy.
Don’t worry, as the French father assured his son on the video posted multiple times on my FB feed, the flowers and candles will protect the French people.
Islamic invasion to kill the Kafir. That is why they do not go to Arab Muslim countries.
It is the Hijrah started by Mad Mo 1,400 years ago to conquer the Kafir. Greater India was mostly Hindu before the Hijrah; now Pakistan , etc. broke away and are mostly Muslims. Afghanistan was mostly Buddhist before the Islamic invasions; same for many different Asia counties.
I am sure this went over well with all of the security forces and military folks who have been in battle all over their own homeland over the past 36 hours or so.

These socialists are mentally ill or the victims of an evil spell.

It won’t be long that the police there will become less heroic, much less....
I’d welcome them too. In the spread-eagle position while they are searched, cataloged, and readied for a quick return back to where they came from. Maybe even spot ‘em a free lunch...maybe a nice bacon cheeseburger.
Sounds just like Yeb!.
There ain’t no cure for stupid. :-)
