Illegal Immigration Crisis Reordering French Politics

All across the EU, unlimited illegal alien immigration by unassimilated Muslims is wrecking the post-Cold War neoliberal establishment. The effect has already been seen in France, but it was felt more keenly recently when France passed laws cracking down on illegal immigration more in line with Marine Le Pen than President Emmanuel Macron.

Far-right leader Marine Le Pen has claimed “an ideological victory” as Emmanuel Macron’s government reached a compromise with hardline conservatives on a beleaguered immigration bill.

The French president’s centrist coalition moved towards introducing a much tougher immigration bill than initially planned on Tuesday, with the government agreeing to harden the access to state benefits for recently-arrived immigrants. The proposals echo some of the far right’s long-time obsessions, including the ideas of Jean-Marie Le Pen, the founder of the National Rally party, who campaigned in favor of a “national preference,” which meant excluding foreigners from state benefits and council housing.

Funny how “France for the French” is a “far right obsession.”

What welfare state benefits should illegal aliens receive upon moving to a country? How about nothing? Does nothing work for you? They should receive food and water only for the short period of time it takes to deport them back to their country of origin.

Even legal immigrants should be ineligible for welfare benefits upon first arriving. Let them work a specified number of years before providing access to the welfare state.

While the proposals put forward by Macron’s Renaissance party do not go that far, the National Rally has been jubilant over the government’s decision to take what they claim is a step in their direction.

“Under pressure from National Rally voters, this bill will harden the conditions surrounding immigration,” Le Pen told reporters at the National Assembly. “We can salute ideological progress, an ideological victory of the National Rally, because it will now be etched in legislation that there is a national priority,” she said, adding that her MPs would vote for the compromise legislation.

After a shock defeat of Macron’s flagship immigration bill last week, when it was dismissed by the National Assembly without a debate, the government has tasked a joint committee of senators and MPs with finding a compromise. But the government needs the support of the conservative Les Républicains party, which has become very hardline on immigration, to get their draft legislation through parliament.

“Very hardline” is a codeword for “actually agrees with French voters.”

On Tuesday, the joint committee reached a compromise on a draft that is much more hardline than the one initially tabled by the government. It includes a compulsory five year wait for non-European immigrants who don’t have a job before claiming housing and child benefits.

Good.

All across Europe, Euroskeptic parties fighting against allowing illegal unassimilated Muslim immigration are ascendant over traditional leftwing Euroestablishment parties. The EU elites insistence on pushing Muslim immigration on resisting populations have pushed Le Pen, long regarded as “unacceptable,” to the center of political consensus in France, at least on this issue, which is increasingly one of utmost importance to voters.

It elite decree that valid issues are off the table for reputable politicians to discuss, then voters will turn to “disreputable” politicians to make their voices heard.

    Re anyone who doesn’t think Stalin was a bit rightish as “far-left” and anything for which large slices of the population actually expresses a preference of which the “elite” does not approve as “very hardline”:

    Forget it, Jake. It’s Politico.

    I’ve seen it posted elsewhere on Instapundit, Gatewaypundit, etc by others that immigration is probably the single biggest civilizational challenge we currently face in Western Civilization. Not probably. It is.

    The simple fact is that K selected societies with heavy child-investment cultural strategies will always be outcompeted on volume by R selected ones. The cultural integration people have been saying would occur since the 60s isn’t happening in anywhere near the amount it needs to keep institutions running optimally…in fact we’re already seeing them falter.

    Either governments obey the will of their native constituency or the native constituency need new governments. If those governments refuse the constituents need a new country. Period.

    Mass legal immigration is as bad as illegal. It’s a matter of numbers and culture. One of the stupidest and most destructive memes put out by the filthy con men at the top of the conservative movement, routinely echoed by the cowards down below, is “I’m not against legal immigration, I’m only against illegal immigration”! It’s just a matter of meaningless paperwork. Conservatism is a movement of cowards led by crooks.
