If that were true, France would have a vastly different immigration policy. It would even have an explicit, drastic, and targeted emigration policy.
- tuetuopay 2y agoSince when the general population are the decision makers? /s Well, half /s anyways. Working class don't want them because "they're taking our jobs". Middle class don't want them because "blah blah security". Upper class want them because that's cheap labour. And as it happens, the upper class is the class in power. Most french don't care. But this still creates tensions, even between immigrants, say for like housing. As we say in french, it's a "bourbier". In the end, it's the same situation as in any other country where immigration has taken over the frontline of the political debate.
