Nicolas Sarkozy says France has too many foreigners!!

[hellheaven1987]

French President Nicolas Sarkozy has said there are too many foreigners in France and the system for integrating them is "working more and more badly".

In a TV debate, Mr Sarkozy defended his plan to cut the number of new arrivals in half if he is re-elected next month.

Mr Sarkozy is trailing in the opinion polls behind the Socialist candidate Francois Hollande.

He is also competing for conservative voters with the far-right National Front party led by Marine le Pen.

The president said while immigration could be a boon for France, it needed to be controlled more tightly through tougher qualification rules for residency.

Mr Sarkozy, whose father was a Hungarian immigrant, also said he wanted to restrict some benefit payments to immigrants who had been in the country for 10 years.

May be Sarkozy is tired to deal foreigner like David Cameroon?

I think perhaps there's too many French in France. What could we do about this?

He's right.

When 10% of your country population is foreigner, you'll say the same thing.

Mine has 49% foreigners, runs like a charm.

I count 17 of'm.

Or where we playing "spot the whitey"?

Stop being racist dude.

I knew there was something odd about that man ,that is why the relations between Romania and France aren't as good as they used to be.


Well Multiculturalism was declared dead.When one goes into France he is expected to assimilate and adapt the French culture.
A part of those emigrants don't assimilate and they cause problems.

We need to go to the core of the problem,this mass migration was allowed in Europe because the birth rates are going down.Migration is not the answer,some of the natives are more nationalists then others thus causing confilcts and the rise to expremist right wing parties and some imigrants don't assimilate but after 2 or 3 generations their own birth rates begin to match those of the adoptive country thus migration can only help for a short term.

France has a birth rate of 1.8 , more then ok,they should allow enough people to mentain their population,in essence stabilising the population.

Some countries need to stabilise their population,others must grow very slow and others could sustain an healthy population grow.

Poland,Hungary,Romania,Bulgaria and almost all Eastern Europe in essence can and it should have an healthy population growth because there is enough room and on the other side population growth can be used as a catalist for faster development.

A few developed countries could use a small population growth so that they develope their regions that are lagging behind.Italy ,Spain and Germany come into mind.Spain has more then 50% of their territory in need of territory,Italy has all southern Itlay that is underveloped.Germany still has East Germany to integrate from an economical point of view.I'm not talking about a big population growth when it comes those countries only a small one that will amplifiy their economic growth and that growth can be redirected into those regions.

We need to really think about it.Population stabilisation must be an aim for the EU and the European continent as a hole.

And you think this stops him from trying to attract the far right voters he desperately needs?


I hope Melenchon wins- he's just such a brilliant speaker and debater.

10% of France are foreign non-citizens? Can you guys smell that? I think a bull took a somewhere around here.

Many are taking up low-level jobs like that out of desperation, being highly-educated but unable to speak the language and not having many better alternatives.

How hard is to speak Dutch? I can read Dutch just from learning German at secondary school.

That's ridiculous. A Protestant Briton has no easier task acculturation to Catholic, Polish-speaking xxx than a Muslim Turk. Except for the fact that the latter will possibly encounter more hostility for daring to come to Poland after 1688 than the former would for being a Protestant. But they're both forms of immigration and both carry substantial levels of culture shock.

The average reader of The Sun knows of Poland, knows its 20th century history, and recognises shared cultural aspects. They don't know there are two different Congos unless an "African" from a culture they know absolutely nothing about tells them so, and from what they've seen on TV, the place is in eternal famine and civil war.

it's true, and twice that for Germany.

Wrong. In Germany, roughly 9% of the inhabitants don't have a German passport. And roughly a quarter of those actually have EU passports.

Sorry, my mistake. I read this article previously and somehow got it into my head it was 18% when it's only 9%.

Being able to comprehend some words doesn't mean that it's easy to actually learn to speak the language. Dutch is incredibly irregular, even worse than English.

Seems to be a problem for most Western-European countries, a increasing problem at least.

France is by far the worse though. We don't have anything coming near to their social problems.

Yes so much is true, but we shouldn't take our chances. I'd say severly limit immigration, maybe a policy of only allowing well educated immigrants. Basicly only allowing people which will be of help to us, as right now we aren't helping ourselves with the immigration and it only causes problems on the long run.

Speaking Dutch basically involves coughing up phlegm at every vowel. It's likely the most guttural language in the world.

Thank god the Dutch are so good at English or I would've never survived in Amsterdam.
