    Considering the EU is a single market for goods, and people, he's obviously referring to immigtrants from Africa and the Middle East.

    They can't prevent people from EU moving to France, as far as I know. Which begs the question, how was he allowed to kick the Roma out a few months ago. They're from Romania, Hungary and other EU countries.

    Anyone shed some light on that?

    Well just because you're from the EU it doesn't mean they can't kick you out, can't stop you from re-entering as such, but you won't get anything, if you're moving from an EU country to an EU Country, in most instances you have to have a job or the means to support yourself.

    Le Pen probably won't make it. She needs 500 official signatures and is still short.

    Everyone is going on about there's "right-wing winds" over Europe. Why is that? People didn't just turn right-wing for no reason.
    It could be because of the unprecedented immigration levels, people don't recognise their home towns any more. There is no work and people turn to the easiest explanation, the fordners took the jobs. Of course youtube videos of French immigrant youth attacking police and other citizens doesn't help.

    I don't blame the immigrants (that doesn't commit crime) for wanting a better life and moving to wealthy France. I blame the politicians that allowed it to happen too fast.
    And what is so surprising is that the immigrants are welcomed by the French left. The left is working class and in direct competition with the immigrants for jobs and resources.
    The well educated middle and upper classes aren't worried about their jobs.

    The thing is, he's talking out of both sides of his mouth. Rather than say 'we don't need new immigrants...' he talks about 'immigrants' and 'foriegners' - both terms used to describe Frances pre-existing minorities. Thus its essentially bash the minority dressed up as a rational discussion of immigration policy.

    This is a gross misrepresentation of electoral demographics.
