Summary
Quotes
“As for the bosses and the French government, they resort to mass immigration, just as the slave trade was practiced in the past, to procure a modern, overexploited and underpaid slave workforce. This labor force enables them to make bigger profits and exert greater pressure on wages, working and living conditions, and the rights of all workers in France, whether immigrants or not.
This policy is contrary both to the interests of immigrant workers and most of their home nations, and to the interests of French workers and France. In the current crisis, it provides employers and the government with a means of worsening unemployment, low wages, poor working conditions and repression against all workers, both immigrant and French.
That's why we say that immigration must be stopped, or new workers will be thrown out of work. In this respect, Messrs Giscard d'Estaing and Stoléru are doing the opposite of what they say: they are contributing to the organized clandestine entry of workers deprived of rights and subjected to shameful and inhuman exploitation.”
