France: No Mass Legalizing of Immigrants

PARIS (AP) -- France's new immigration minister ruled out the possibility of legalizing undocumented immigrants on masse, saying Monday that government policy would be firm and pragmatic.

Brice Hortefeux heads the Ministry of Immigration and National Identity - newly created by President Nicolas Sarkozy to manage the inflow of immigrants and protect French values and cohesion.

"We have to put aside massive legalization. It doesn't work and it penalizes, even immigrants," Hortefeux said on Europe 1 radio. Policy, he added, would be guided by "firmness and humanism" with "lots of pragmatism."

He said he planned to adhere to the policy of deporting illegal immigrants from France. The number of deportees was expected to reach some 25,000 this year, and Hortefeux said he would ensure that figure was reached.

I bet the French people feel proud, secure and happy.

Unlike us fighting like cats and dogs.

Hmph. Our president will NEVER wake up. NEVER!

Grrrrr.

Maybe Bush and congress should invite him here and get some pointers since he refuses to listen to citizens of this country. But commonsense is not part of this government!

That's a great idea SOSAD, but they don't want to be shown up now do they.
