Summary
Quotes
“[...] of course, the FN is silent on the responsibility of big business, which went looking for these foreigners in their countries of origin. No class analysis, of course, and consequently nothing on the processes of exploitation that exacerbate inequalities between immigrants and nationals. The Socialist Party, for its part, has become the shield of neoliberal capitalism. After burying Marxism and the class struggle, and converting to the market economy, the left-wing hegemony of the PS has rendered any criticism of immigration as "far-right". In total opposition to the FN, immigration is defended as an enrichment for the country, ignoring the reasons and responsibilities behind migration, as with its adversary. From now on, it's all about morality and individuals. Finally, we mustn't forget that labor immigration has been replaced by family immigration, the main source of immigration with few or no qualifications. The new waves of immigration bring with them a workforce that has to compete with previous waves of immigration.

While France has hovered between 8% and 10% unemployment for the past 30 years, the MEDEF continues to advocate the recruitment of foreigners[13][14][15]. The political refugee is also seen from an economic angle[16]. The hiring of illegal immigrants is encouraged by the European Commission, trade unions and employers via the French Office for Immigration and Integration[17]. It is much in demand in the hotel industry[18].”
