French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot on Wednesday called for European governments to co-operate on restricting immigration from countries that refuse to take back undocumented migants who are facing deportation from Europe.
France’s foreign minister said Wednesday that he wanted “all” European countries to co-operate and start cutting back visas available to nationals of countries that refuse to take back illegal migrants expelled by Paris.
Jean-Noël Barrot spoke after an Algerian-born man went on a stabbing rampage in the eastern French city of Mulhouse at the weekend, killing one person and wounding several others in what President Emmanuel Macron called an “Islamist terrorist act”.
The 37-year-old suspect was on a terrorism watch list and subject to a deportation order.
France sought to expel him multiple times, but Algeria refused to cooperate, French authorities say.
“If a country does not cooperate with the French authorities, I will propose that all European countries restrict the issuing of visas at the same time,” Barrot told broadcaster France 2.
“When we do it on a national level, it doesn’t work unfortunately,” he added.
Prime Minister Bayrou has called for a national debate on immigration and what it means to be French, suggesting that immigrants were “flooding” France.

That is a good start.
Thanks to Trump, Europe is waking up.
So, dump him back in Algeria, anyway. I mean, I know the French military isn't what it once was, but I hardly think Algeria could keep the French from landing him on some deserted beach.
Jean-Noël, I’ve got a news flash for you since you haven’t seemed to figured it out yet: if you don’t let them in in the first place, you don’t have to worry about their countries accepting them back.
Oh, it goes back further than Trump, it’s just taken time to gain momentum. Nearly 20 years ago one of my cousins who “adventures” around the world a lot lived with friends in Germany for a few months. She told us the racism against the Turks in Germany was worse than anything she’d seen anywhere else. Knowing her, I’m pretty sure her friends would be blue collar types, possibly bikers. (An interesting choice for someone with a moderately high income.)
“Undocumented”...
Nice weasel wordage.
Hint: Nobody’s going anywhere.
I love France. Parisians are city denizens, but the rest of the French are wonderful, friendly people.
I hope this wakes TPTB up to save the culture and the French heritage. This needs to be restored.

Racist!
Islamophobe!
Far Right Nationalist!
