Edouard Philippe set guidelines on migration policy, not excluding the idea of quotas, during a debate in the Assembly wanted by Emmanuel Macron who bristles left and left the right on his hunger.
One year after the enactment of the asylum-immigration-integration law , the Prime Minister admitted that the government had " not achieved all its objectives " in the field of migration, highlighting the 22% increase between 2017 and 2018 number of asylum applications. " The French asylum system is now saturated, " he lamented, saying that the idea of " quotas " was not " taboo ".
The Matignon tenant has developed " six orientations " , including a reflection on the social benefits granted to asylum seekers. " France (...) must be neither more nor less attractive than its neighbors ", pleaded Edouard Philippe, calling to " face the facts (...) without denying our principles ", especially on conditions of access to care.
Edouard Philippe also wants to redefine the strategy of official development aid, which must reach 0.55% of GDP in 2022, putting " finally the migratory issue at the heart of our diplomatic relations with these states ". He also intends to " do more and better in integration ".
For the past two years, we have been pursuing a policy of immigrants without a chin but without being naive. But clearly we have not achieved all our goals ...

The Prime Minister has also shot a few arrows against the purveyors of " false solutions ", denouncing the " myths and fantasies " of " zero immigration ", " alternative immigration " or " the end of the law". ground ".
Before the kickoff of the exchanges, the president of the National Gathering made the connection between the killing of the prefecture of Paris , perpetrated by a Frenchman converted to Islam, and an " illegal immigration " allowing the development of " Islamic fundamentalism ". Marine Le Pen, who defends a " moratorium " on immigration, called on the executive to " have the courage to finally hold a grand referendum " on immigration.
On the right, Guillaume Larrivé (LR) wanted the establishment of an " immigration charter " backed by the Constitution and submitted to " referendum ".
" Scapegoat "
On the left, the preventions are alive: the number one PS Olivier Faure has alerted against the temptation of a " state populism ". " You have chosen to make the immigrant the scapegoat of the country's problems rather than the financier who plunders our country or the tax evader," thundered the head of the Insoumis Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
In conclusion, Edouard Philippe noted a " dissensus " such as " it is difficult to have a nuanced exchange " on immigration. Although there is no question of a new law, he nevertheless confirmed that the executive intended to " use the texts to come " to " translate, measure by measure, these decisions into action ".
It is a device, if I remember the terms of the Mazeaud report, which was both impracticable and ineffective, particularly in reducing illegal immigration. I do not see what magic recipe the government would have found the ways and means to requalify something that has been disqualified.
