    They had them all in one place and they missed the opportunity to round them up and send them on their way.

    Let them protest; it's as french as cheese, wine and smoking.

    But continue with the deportations.

    This one's not complicated.

    So it isn't true?

    Or maybe it is:
    https://www.google.ie/search?source=hp&ei=zgboXJ33Jeui1fAP06qFuAs&q=migrants+charles+de+gaulle+airport&oq=migrants+charles+de+gaulle+airport

    Takes up the whole first page of a Google search.
    I hadn't heard about it from the main news sources in Ireland, and it happened 2 days ago.
    500 illegal Africans storming a main airport in Europe and taking over a terminal would be considered big news in some areas of the world.

    Remember OP, you need Pravda approved media for some users.
    The Guardian I think is one, but tbh no-one have given me a list yet so it's a bit unclear.

    The daily mail is one of the more respectable of the sites with this story. The first and second page of google turns up sites like sputnik, zerohedge, theblaze, infowars, Russia Today. The usual suspects, basically.

    On the other hand, France 24 has a bit on it so this definitely happened.
    Hundreds of undocumented immigrants gathered at a terminal at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris on May 19 to protest deportations. The demonstrators called themselves the "black vests," a reference to the Yellow Jacket protests that have been sweeping across France for six months.

    The protesters, many of whom are living in migrant shelters in the Paris region, called on authorities to grant migrants legal status in the country and allow them to bring their families. They also asked that Air France stop participating in deportations by flying migrants back to their home countries.

    I don't agree with what the protesters are looking for but like I said earlier, protesting is quite common in France. They left peacefully and that was that.

    I can't see this being successful anyway. You can't expect a country not to deport people who shouldn't be in the country.

    It's not a lot to ask for a source other than the Daily Mail. It whole raison d'etre is to peddle celebrity gossip and scare old people.

    It took me no time to find the France 24 link.

    Can I ask, does the two sources say the same thing, or is one lying and the other true?

    “France does not belong to the French! Everyone has a right to be here!” one person can be heard yelling into a loudspeaker.
    Well they're certainly bold I'll give them that.

    I can never understand these people. If they don't like it in France (or any other European country), then go home. Nobody asked them to come. As the old saying goes, 'Give an inch and they will take a mile'

    And if one person said it I'm pretty certain we can extend that to all migrants, Hell to all brown people.

    To be fair to them you can't say they are not integrating into french society. There is a nothing a frenchman likes more than a good protest.

    Not the way the OP said they "Stormed the building" and your link said they gathered. From what I can tell they must have all gone there quietly and then changed into storm trooper outfits.

    I'd like if some journalists asked one of these folk why they believe France should look after them and their families. Where does this entitlement originate?

    also call themselves GiletsNoirs - or black vests.
    Just as well they thought of that themselves :pac:

    If anyone else thought it up, they'd be a wacist.

    No, I don't think we can, thats why the quote said "one person can be heard yelling..." and not "the migrants were heard yelling..."

    This is the reason people don't like garbage like the Daily Mail. This protest appears to have been relatively tame but these outrage-peddling publications would have you believe that all hell had broken loose.

    Well to be fair it is a fairly outrageous demand.

    In my day if you wanted to be French, you joined the foreign legion and waited three years. You also changed your name because you were a generation X-er looking for an identity.

    Why don't we form a European Foreign Legion, where they get citizenship after serving for a number of years? A lot of European countries have national service so there must be a requirement for manpower in this regard.
