French parliament to debate new immigration law

This bill of law being proposed by the French government I believe essential if that country is to keep its unique identity and way of life.

For immigration problems you don't have to go to far and see the way it is becoming for its virtual neighbor Britain...which is becoming a disaster area...no not because of immigrants coming to this country - Britain relies on immigration having done so for many, many generations.

But there is much much disgruntlement between the native Britons and the influx of immigrants pouring into the country...who are seen as taking all the jobs, anti-social - keeping themselves to themselves, showing no interest in integrating themselves in the British way of life.

And this is causing calamity,

Are the French Government doing something sensible in making immigrants learn the French language for 2 whole months? Perhaps?
But it does show the French are wanting to preserve their unique way of living and project their social integration.

===================

Paris, Aug. 23 (Xinhua): French government announced on Tuesday that a bill of law, which is aimed at bringing immigration under control, will be presented to an extraordinary session of parliament in September 2007.

The law, which was presented to the council of ministers on July 4, notably seeks to change the conditions required for reunification of families, which will now be based on several criteria including "respecting the values of the republic and mastery of the French language."

If the law is enacted, foreigners wishing to join their families in France will be required to learn French for a maximum period of two months prior to their arrival.

In addition, those wishing to bring their relatives to France will be required to demonstrate that they are financially capable of meeting the needs of the size of their families.

In a further move, the law stipulates that successful applicants for family reunification will be required to enter into an agreement with the state on the "reception and integration of the family," which means that they will accept to be trained on the rights and duties of parents in France.
