France: Mayors Panic, Call on Macron to Help Them Deal with Tsunami of Migrants

Seven mayors from France called on President Emmanuel Macron to step in and help them deal with the flow of (illegal) immigrants from Africa and the Middle East.

French daily Le Monde published a letter written by the mayors of Strasbourg, Grenoble, Rennes, Nantes, Toulouse, Lille, and Bordeaux. In the letter, the mayors say that they are forced to take in "several thousand" refugees every month. This tsunami is creating massive social problems, they go on to explain. They feel that they're "backed up against a wall" and "completely saturated."

The mayors want Macron to establish a "solidarity network" between the cities of France "dedicated to addressing the flow of migrants," as well as an "enlarged meeting with the state at the highest level," which the mayors say must act quickly by assuming its sovereign powers to "finance these developed actions and propose a clarified framework of work with the communities for a real plan of reception of the migrants."

France is one of the countries hardest hit by the refugee crisis. When authorities wanted to relocate some 6,000 migrants from the Calais "Jungle" they had created, all hell broke loose. These supposed refugees have caused major problems in France, with entire regions being taken over by them. The same goes for Paris, where you can actually see these "immigrants" sleeping on the streets and begging local residents for money. There are also daily reports of migrants trying to illegally cross the Canal to move into England where, they believe, a brighter future awaits them.

Looked up that word, which I had never heard before. Was interested to see Joni Mitchell wrote a song by the same name.

Suggesting left wing political aims going far back, if you ask me. Why would she write a song like that?

Now that ISIS has been defeated, can’t the refugees go home? Wasn’t that the reason they became refugees and were let in in the first place?

Told his mother today to speak with both of the kids, that when they are on the street they must pay attention, and to put all items in the inside pockets.

Yes, he was lucky, he said they weren’t too big but there were 3 of them, I told him just give them your stuff if it ever happens.

Ironically mass immigration serves the greater purpose of EU leaders, who do in fact seek to homogenize the world and do away with national/ regional identities and cultures. Too bad the mayors have to face it on the ground instead of cushy suites in Brussells.

“Why would she write a song like that?”

I think it relates to the Arabic “journey”, the song is supposedly about a breakup with a lover. I don’t think she’s channeling jihad, but uses the word in its broader sense.

But to a jihadist, hejira means you, your brothers and male cousins and all their pals moving to an area and declaring it to be muslim ground.

Good to hear. Yes, it’s best to let them have it.

It would be better and cheaper to help them develop their own country and stop migration completely

That’s the plan for the whole world. Disarm the people, take away the ability for self defense. Flood with migrants, to result in chaos. Then the people will beg for government to take control of everything.
