Paris (AFP) – French far-right leader Marine Le Pen proposed Thursday that the children of illegal immigrants should be refused public school places as part of tough proposals to restrict state services.
“I’ve got nothing against foreigners but I say to them: if you come to our country, don’t expect that you will be taken care of, treated (by the health system) and that your children will be educated for free,” Le Pen said.
“That’s finished now, it’s the end of playtime,” she told an audience at a conference organised by a polling group in Paris.
Opinion polls suggest the leader of the National Front (FN) will finish second in next year’s presidential election but she is hoping for new momentum after Donald Trump’s victory in the United States.
Speaking to AFP afterwards, she clarified that she wanted to block education for immigrants who are in France illegally, not all foreigners.
Such a move would contravene current French law which guarantees school places for all children.
She also said that any foreigner using the public education system without paying tax in France would have to contribute.

Well that would separate the ones of means from the ones that were not of means. Also this is about public schools, so if churches, etc. wanted to volunteer it, it would not affect them.
Sweet!!!
Better yet Ms. Le Pen - just get them out of the country.
And Linda wants to give illegal kids here amnesty.
Hey, Linda - shouldn’t they be educated in their home country?
MFGA Make France Great Again!
You go, Le Pen!
Wonder if she would be interested in visiting Trump to discuss possible job opportunities with the US federal government?
If you don’t kick them out, they will just form their own underground schools...islamic indoctrination centers
My thoughts exactly. Why fool around like this? It’ll only use up time and money that can best be used elsewhere.
They broke into the house to begin with.
If you deny them an education but allow them to stay, you simply create a domestic criminal underclass. Just deport.
“...French far-right leader Marine Le Pen...”
Why is it that anyone who doesn’t do exactly what the liberal leftists want is labeled “far right”????
Because it’s worked up till now. That appears to be changing, however.
They actually bus Mexican kids from south of the border and enroll them in Southern Arizona schools! And they they teach them to hat).
I believe that's a corrupt deal by border counties to get federal education dollars. This needs to change during the Trump administration.
Wow imagine that, not having to educate illegals. I’m glad other countries are seeing how expensive educating, housing and caring for illegals is.
Of course. But actually dealing with the issue is hard and she's a politician, so...
Texas has spent billions educating Mexico’s children because of an unjust Supreme Court ruling in the 1980s that demanded that the border states reward law breakers by educating and feeding their children at public schools.
Many of these children have never been in school in Mexico, know no English, don’t know how to use toilets, and often have head lice that spread to their unfortunate classmates. It has been a terrible burden on border state taxpayers, and now it is spreading to most of the states as Central America foists its offspring onto the entire USA.
Why is Breitbart acting like morons parroting the far right label?
What, LePen doesn’t want to guarantee them a free college education and minority preferences for government jobs?
