France’s president, Nicolas Sarkozy, has stirred some controversy just in time for France’s presidential campaign; to close the narrow gap between him and Francoise Hollande, who is outshining him in the polls, he has reached out to the Right:
“Today, we have a problem,” Sarkozy said on a televised speech Tuesday night, “Our system of integration is working worse and worse, because we have too many foreigners on our territory and we can no longer manage to find them accommodation, a job, a school.”
Such words were sure to push some buttons with this hot topic on the French scene, where the French national identity is considered by many to be more vital to the population than one’s religion or nation of origin. Sarkozy continued to delineate the measures he would take to answer the problem of “having too many foreigners”:

“Let’s recognize everyone’s right to know what they’re eating, halal or not,” he said at a rally. “I’d like to see, therefore, the ticketing of meat according to its method of slaughter.”

I feel for the French being what they are in an area so near to Muslim north Africa, but they put themselves in this situation.
I thought the French were historically xenophobic? When did they start becoming so accommodating?
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

France does have a problem with assimilation, which likely starts with the fact that many immigrants don't come to France because they want to be Frenchmen. I find the focus on Halal and Kosher meat to be quite humorous, necessitating French politicians to immediately explain they don't really mean it, Kosher meat not targeted, French PM tells Jewish leaders . Personally I can't believe Kosher and Halal meat isn't already labeled. If it weren't, observant Jews and Muslims couldn't buy it. As to the health risk of accidently eating it, guess you have to add warning labels. White supremecists circulated nonsense like this back in the 60s and 70s, the evils of Jewish meat and the Kosher tax.
Deportations would also address the ever-growing problem of French tablecloths going missing.
someone plans to send home some of the
“moops”
““Our system of integration is working worse and worse, because we have too many foreigners on our territory and we can no longer manage to find them accommodation, a job, a school.”
And ther’s the rub. Immigrants now expect that we should “accomodate” them. We sould fully accept them to remain separate and loyal to their birth countries while giving them all the “entitlements” that should be reserved for US citizens—including the right to vote.
“I thought the French were historically xenophobic? When did they start becoming so accommodating?”
let’s just say they didn’t have a choice at certain points in their history.
..the muzzie hordes are already inside your house....and alas....some of them are (un) natural born Frenchmen.
...just as with any other vermin infestation, drastic measures will necessarily have to be taken.
Not that the French are shining examples of anything, they are experiencing what happens when you allow more 3rd world immigration than shall we say, higher quality immigration.
Thanks to, may he never rest in peace, Ted Kennedy, the USA is experiencing the same downward pressure on our culture as we give preferences to people who may not even know how to operate a flush toilet or come from cultures when cleanliness is rather unknown. Heaven forbid we allow anymore evil European, engineers, scientists, mathematicians, doctors... into this country.
When elites which to become dictators, they must have a class of thugs to oppress the common people. These thugs must have nothing in common with they people they are to control, preferably should despise them, ideally should be outcasts who hate the regular populace.
Monsieur President, that was my observation the first time I visited Paris thirty plus years ago, specifically the week Anwar Sadat was killed by the same group you recently helped put into power in Egypt and Libya. TMFA were roaming the streets even then.
Speaking of vermin now Alec Baldwin can’t move there can he?
Nice one, Bubble Boy! LOL!
he’s sending Carla back to Italy?
OUCH!
The problem in France (U.S.A) has been the influx of poor illiterate non productive people, with no skills living off the State.
They do not share the same culture and societal values as the rest of French (U.S.) society. They do not want to assimilate or integrate into French (U.S.) society.

Sounds like France and the U.S.A. suffer from the same disease - socialism!
In France, vote for Sarkozy; in the U.S.A., vote for Gingrich.
Thanks Cincinna.
But whose version of French history? Seems there would be an aristocratic history, a history of the bourgeoisie, and even a Moorish history at points. Perhaps the uneducated masses are trying to rewrite French history to favor and cast pity upon the Moors?
