Former President Nicolas Sarkozy, who did his share to foster mass immigration to France, has said that immigration to France is a problem and that everything needs to be changed. Sarkozy was joining the chorus of outrage over the murder of a young White French student who was murdered by an illegal migrant, who was previously jailed in France for rape, released early from prison, and remained in the country despite having a deportation order.
Sarkozy proposed some sensible reforms arguing that all asylum claims from migrants who entered Europe illegally by crossing the Mediterranean from Africa "should be refused" and that all European nations should require that alleged refugees apply for asylum before coming to the EU. While saying the disturbing comment relating to Africa. "Our destinies are linked," it may be that he has in mind development projects in Africa, as Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has proposed, rather than, as the EU wants, bringing the entire population of Africa to Europe, for cheap labour, and the Great Replacement.
"In the wake of yet another horrific murder allegedly committed in Paris by a foreigner, former President Nicolas Sarkozy declared that France needs to "change everything" in how it handles the "problem" of immigration.
There are growing demands for drastic immigration reforms following the murder of a young female student this month in an affluent neighbourhood of the French capital at the suspected hands of an illegal migrant, who was previously jailed in France for rape, released early from prison, and remained in the country despite having a deportation order.
Joining the chorus for change this week was former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who himself comes from a migration background, with his parental line stemming from the Hungarian aristocracy and his mother being of mixed Greek Jewish and French Catholic heritage.
"Immigration is a problem," the Gaullist politician said according to Le Figaro, adding: "We have to change everything."
Sarkozy laid out several areas of potential reform, arguing that all asylum claims from migrants who entered Europe illegally by crossing the Mediterranean from Africa "should be refused" and that all European nations should require that alleged refugees apply for asylum before coming to the EU.
Addressing the issue around deportations, such as countries refusing to accept the return of their nationals, the former president suggested that visas only be issued on the condition that their country of origin agrees to "consular return authorisations".
The ex-Républicains leader also called for reform at the EU level, saying that decisions surrounding immigration policy and control of the Schengen area should not be left to Eurocrats in Brussels, but rather by a new body of national level interior ministers from the 27 member states, a move that would likely result in far stricter migration controls.
Finally, Sarkozy argued that the "only lasting solution" to the issue of illegal migration will be European-assisted economic development in Africa, a policy also advocated for by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. "Our destinies are linked," Sarkozy said of Africa."
