    Well - that's what So Cosy has said in Paris :

    Quoted :

    PARIS - President Nicolas Sarkozy declared on Tuesday that there are too many immigrants in France, as the country's presidential election campaign became caught up in issues of religion and identity.

    Defending a re-election campaign promise to cut the number of new arrivals in half, Sarkozy bluntly declared that France's attempts to integrate foreign arrivals into its culture and society had become paralysed.

    "Our system of integration is working more and more badly, because we have too many foreigners on our territory and we can no longer manage to find them accommodation, a job, a school," Sarkozy said.

    Sarkozy has been accused of tacking to the right in the run up to the April 22 first round of the French presidential election in order to recruit voters tempted by anti-immigrant candidate Marine Le Pen's platform.

    But, in a television interview, he insisted that while immigration could remain "a boon" for France in many areas, it must be controlled more tightly through tougher residency qualifications for newcomers.

    "Over the five-year term I think that to restart the process of integration in good conditions, we must divide by two the number of people we welcome, that's to say to pass from 180,000 per year to 100,000," he said.
    Sarkozy also announced new plans to limit some welfare benefit payments currently available to immigrant workers to those who have enjoyed residency for ten years and have worked for five of those.
    The hardening of his tone came after a week in which the issue of Muslim immigration and in particular Islamic and Jewish dietary practice has surged to the fore in the national debate, upsetting religious leaders................

    Announced like a prizefighter, Mr Sarkozy climbed the huge white stage to the strains of his campaign anthem and an amended slogan: "Strong France with You".

Days after telling France that he would give up politics if he lost the forthcoming elections, Mr Sarkozy told supporters: "I have lost none of my desire to act," before launching into a series of protectionist proposals for France and Europe.

    These included suspending France's participation in the Schengen visa-free zone signed by all 27 [URL="[URL]http://searchtopics.independent.ie/topic/European_Union"]EU[/URL[/URL]] states bar [URL="[URL]http://searchtopics.independent.ie/topic/United_Kingdom"]Britain[/URL[/URL]] and [URL="[URL]http://searchtopics.independent.ie/topic/Ireland"]Ireland[/URL[/URL]], if its rules were not revised to fight illegal immigration in the next 12 months.

    France would stay out of Schengen "until negotiations conclude," he said.
    Since his official campaign launch three weeks ago, Mr Sarkozy has veered Right in an effort to capture the far-Right National Front vote.

    Last week he said there were "too many foreigners in France" and promised to half the influx of migrants.

    "Too many" does not automatically translate to "kick them all out". Could there be a "sensible" amount of foreigners? I mean, no country has to let in foreigners, but they do, so they must be doing some good, right?

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    It's completely dependent on economic health. During a boom we all want more foreigners, during a recession we want none.

    Cue people calling me a racist by this comment but I admire the way France strive to maintain their national and cultural identity. They take their national identity very seriously and immigrants either integrate into it or they suffer. The state shouldn't feel the need to adapt for them, the immigrants should adapt into their new country themselves. This is not to say immigrants shouldn't forget who they are or where they come from, but immigrants must integrate and respect the laws of the land when a state is accommodating them.

    Does the little leprechaun include his Italian missus in the "too many foreigners"? Or his Hungarian aul lad? There's a strong smell of desperation in the air.:):):):)
