Any and all aid to Europe including any contributions to Nato should stop immediately. Then the French can surrender to Iran, Hezbollah Etc. I’ve always been offended by the fact that the French ended up with a permanent seat on the un Security Council after World War II after surrender to Hitler in a matter of weeks. They’ve been a pain in the rear since then. You want to set your own course set your own course with your own resources.
It was in 1991 that Edith Cresson, then the Prime Minister, offered a denunciation of illegal immigration in France. It was in 2002 that the country was hit with a wave of urban riots whose epicenter was the Muslim quarters of various French cities. The French establishment in response has dithered for 24 years. There is a good chance a patriotic government will be elected in France in a year’s time, and we’ll get a chance to see what they can accomplish.
France’s influx of Muslims is somewhat different than other parts of Europe.
As I understand it, France essentially declared its colonies to BE France and colonials have the right to move to historical France. (I am open to correction of course.)
In re the remaining dependencies I think that’s the case, not those which are formally sovereign. In re the former ‘French Community’ or ‘French Union’, there were several categories of membership. I think Algerians had a significantly different set of permissions than the others.

The welfare system, housing markets, and labor law are all an issue in France. You see the same issues elsewhere.
