"According to the texts proposed to us, Europe is supposed to be ‘inhospitable towards immigrants’.
One can hardly believe it when one sees that, on account of its initiator, the Interior Minister, Mr Sarkozy, France is the champion of selective immigration and of positive discrimination in favour of visible minorities, as opposed, I imagine, to the 'invisible' European indigenous majority, and when one knows that foreigners living illegally in France are housed in reception centres or in hotels, are fed and have their children schooled and that they benefit from free state medical assistance, which is not the case for ethnic French people who, for their part, very often have to fend for themselves when it comes to finding somewhere to live, putting food on the table and working.
In Italy, Spain and France, tens and hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants are regularly granted residence and work permits and can thus move throughout Europe with impunity. ‘Godfathers’ and ‘godmothers' of young foreigners whose parents are living in the country illegally are cropping up in all of the middle-class cities of France and opposing the deportation of these youngsters.
Is Europe inhospitable? Quite the contrary: it is high time we put a stop to all of this pro-immigration and pro-integration madness of our French and European leaders."@en1
