France’s New Immigration Bill Explained

Receive 10% off anything on Bellroy: bit.ly/46SUfu0
On Tuesday evening, the French Senate passed an immigration bill that would significantly restrict asylum and deportation policy in France. But despite the passing, it is already proving to be a controversial topic, both because of its content and because Macron may once again be forced to use Article 49.3 to force the bill through the National Assembly. But can this immigration bill once again send the protesters to the streets, or can Macron with his deep unpopularity see it through?

Unfortunately, a lot of people from the Global South will be displaced due to the climate emergency. And if immigration keeps getting stricter, where will all those people go?

There are a lot of options and things that should happen but don't happen. It's funny how Europeans cry about immigrants while a lot of the reasons the people from poor countries are trying to flee (poverty, political instability, climate change) are directly or indirectly caused by all the "developed" countries.

[@andreacalmado5429]

As a french i have to tell that : nothing will change It's not the first time that laws or stuff like this pass or try to pass, never change anything. Most immigrants, even the one with an OQTF ( an obligation to leave the territory ) aren't expulse and stay here, with nobody doing anything. The large majority of french population is against immigration, but we have a small and very influent minority who do everything they can to keep the immigration and the migrants in, and it works. Despite the criminality and all the issue, migrants have a huge protection in France by the far left and center politicians and french, so nothing will change. And it's kind of the same for other european countries, we all have the same issue, the only country who truly managed to do something, or at least start, is Denmark.

The numbers are insane, 220k migrants per year, whereas 70k are from middle-east alone and staying. The Dutch people have no houses to live in (they are put back further on the social housing list by migrants). Migrants have extra privileges, and if you say anything about it you are called a racist, xenophobe, islamophobic, etc. It's a never ending story, when will it stop? We are willingly open to invite migrants, but not this much. It's wayy too much, while we have a housing crisis, supermarket crisis, health-care crisis. We are doing very bad atm, and yet, we take in more immigrants. And it's also a safety concern, because the immigrants have very non-compatible cultures - which lead to crime and segregation.

It's important to understand that this law is not the brainchild of Macron, but really that of Darmanin, who is significantly more of a hardliner than Macron is. Back when President Hollande was in power, Macron rose to significance as his minister of the economy by introducing a bill, the "Macron law", which also needed the controversial use of article 49.3 to pass parliament. And by doing do, Macron became a thorn in Hollande's side, while Hollande himself was very unpopular. It seems the same thing is happening again, but with Darmanin taking Macron's place. Now of course it is too early to tell whether the Darmanin law will necessitate the use of article 49.3, and more importantly, whether Darmanin's presidential bid will be successful. He faces two uphill battles: Firstly, former Prime Minister Edouard Philippe is a favourite in the polls to succeed Macron. And secondly, Marine Le Pen is still riding very high. One thing is certain, this immigration bill is definitely a defining moment that will determine the political carreer of several high profile politicians.

There's an entire business of fraudulent diploma mills. Canada is currently taking 500k immigrants a year. The downside is that housing and cost of living here are ridiculous. The immigration system in the US is a complete mess. People who are born from certain countries can get their green card through a diversity lottery, and they can pull their whole extended family there. Meanwhile, the H1B visa system is an arbitrary mess. All the applicants, regardless of their qualifications, have to go through the same lottery that only selects 65,000 people per year. People wait several years to get a visa. After that, skilled tech workers from India can spend 20 years waiting for a green card, while they are tied to a single employer/sponsor who can exploit them however they want to. The US also has the worst illegal immigration problem out of all the countries. (Population of 16-29 million!) 2 million people crossed the southern border last year, which completely burden the asylum system. Most of them just vanish inside the country and never show up to their court dates, since they aren't legitimate refugees. But they fulfill HUGE cheap labor demands, so it's hard to do anything about them without major repercussions to the economy.
