Subsection content Write here the text corresponding to the title you have chosen for this subsection.	Immigration is a subject that structures the political arena. For many, the left is by definition in favor of immigration. The right is generally hostile to immigration, and the further to the right you go, the greater this hostility becomes. Yet nothing is so simple: a tradition of left-wing authors and movements has been reserved on immigration, while right-wing liberals are in favor of it. In the 1980s, Georges Machais's PCF took positions on this issue that today we would attribute to populists! The left has always fought racism, but it also saw that it was big business that wanted to bring in foreign workers en masse, creating additional exploitation and making workers already in France more precarious. The issue is therefore more complex than it seems. All the more so as today, the Social Democratic parties in Denmark and a left-wing movement in Germany are taking up theses unfavorable to mass immigration. In France, too, the debate exists or is emerging on the left. In 2015, Jean-Luc Mélenchon said of the great wave of migration in Germany that "welcoming refugees is not the answer to the problem". "True realism is to block the causes of departure. It's not about preventing people from arriving, it's about dissuading them from leaving," he insisted. "The French are more intelligent than their elites think. They've understood perfectly, they're all in favor of welcoming refugees today - and I say we have to do it because we have no choice, we're not going to throw them back into the sea! [...].people [...] know that if we start like this we'll have to continue year after year, and that makes no sense!" alarmed the former presidential candidate, while France has pledged to take in 24,000 refugees over two years."

Jean-Luc Mélenchon's critical stance on the reception of migrants revealed the complexity of the problem.
