Sarkozy's reform bill will "stiffen the rules for immigrants in France, establish a sort of quota system and let authorities cherry-pick who gets in - such as doctors, computer whizzes or sports stars." (Independent Online, South Africa) "The bill, which also makes it difficult for immigrants already in France to have their families join them, is expected to go to the [French] Senate for final approval in June." (BBC)
Sarkozy himself is the son of a Hungarian immigrant. Promoting his reform proposal, Sarkozy had earlier said that "We can't keep welcoming to France everyone who wants to come and to whom we can offer neither housing nor employment." (Le Figaro)

Getting into France is easy, just put on a German uniform.

Why do the French plant so many trees?
So the Germans can march in the shade.

It is a sad day when FRANCE has mores stones in protecting itself and its sovereignty than the USA.
If they are cheese-eating surrender monkeys, what does that make us?

I'm in France right now. I get to go back to civilization in a couple of days!
At any rate, they are about to have an election. They're just making laws to help the incumbents. They won't enforce the new "tough immigrant" laws.

I wonder if the France of today could muster even a small resistance.

"We can't keep welcoming to France everyone who wants to come and to whom we can offer neither housing nor employment."No problem; they just wanted a check anyway.

Look at Mexico, even they have more. They beat the hell out of the Guatemalans if they cross into Mexico.

My wife comes from a family that has deep roots in northern Italy. Her response to the immigration debate in Europe: expect a return to fascism. Her dad fought for Mussolini, so she should know.
