Potemkin Paris: France moves its homeless illegals out of the capital to clean up for the Olympics

Paris? Its streets covered with homeless illegal-migrant encampments?

Not for the Olympics, it isn't.

According to the New York Times, President Macron has gone the full Potemkin Village ahead of the international television cameras filming Paris for the Olympics, which begin on July 24, sweeping the illegals out.

The French government has put thousands of homeless immigrants on buses and sent them out of Paris ahead of the Olympics. The immigrants said they were promised housing elsewhere, only to end up living on unfamiliar streets far from home or flagged for deportation.

...

Around the city over the past year, the police and courts have evicted roughly 5,000 people, most of them single men, according to Christophe Noël du Payrat, a senior government official in Paris. City officials encourage them to board buses to cities like Lyon or Marseille.

“We were expelled because of the Olympic Games,” said Mohamed Ibrahim, from Chad, who was evicted from an abandoned cement factory near the Olympic Village.

The story mirrors a similar story done by DW News of Germany featured on YouTube three weeks ago, although the Times did its own reporting and interviewed different illegal migrants:

What's going on here is illegals-dumping from Paris to the other French cities, including some that don't vote for Macron. The City of Orléans, made famous by Joan of Arc, is featured in both news items, and based on the voting map of the Loiret department, of which Orleans is the main city, appears to have gone left in the western precinct where Orléans itself is, while voting pro-Macron in the center of the department, pro-National Rally of Marine Le Pen conservative in the west, and for an unspecified fourth party in the south.

Orléans has a nice cathedral and Joan of Arc museum, and it's likely some of the newly arrived migrants are getting ideas about how to burn it.

It's the same thing San Francisco's mayor, London Breed did when China's president, Xi Jinping, came calling in November last year.

“The French government has put thousands of homeless immigrants on buses and sent them out of Paris”

There’s their mistake. Those buses should have gone to the airports and provided those illegals with free passage to their country of origin. They are just moving the problem around, not eliminating it.

Chicago is doing the same thing ahead of the DNC, moving homeless out of tent encampments and into old hotels.

The whole international order is about the global elite, not the peons. When Her Royal Highness Jill gets a fanfare you just know that the scum views you as scum.

I read that Qatar will be in charge of security at the Olympics. They already have their armored vehicles in place if the pictures are to be believed.

Maybe they should move their terrorists out of Paris.
Just a thought!

Hiding your problems so you're not embarrassed when the rest of the world shows up, always works.

Is it possible countries, including the US, are starting to recognize the difference between migration and invasion?

I’m waiting for the ISIS attack that will make Munich look like a mugging.
