  1. Keep putting the wants and needs of foreigners over the needs of French citizens. France is a shell of itself. It's creative industries on life support and they are still shilling for CCP, Quatar and Ukraine. Never for French citizens.

  2. That means he wants to convert Saint Pierre and Miquelon into the equivalent of Guantanamo Bay. However no residents live on Guantanamo Bay as it is an American military base on the island of Cuba. On the other hand Saint Pierre and Miquelon is a residential zone. Big difference thank you very much and enjoy your evening 😊😊

  3. So his proposal is to ship migrants to a France Colony with harsh living conditions?? What caused them to migrate to France?? How many of these migrants to France come from previously owned colony's of France??

  4. French politicians are willing to say whatsoever to satisfy the people, in the end they will do absolutely nothing because big corporations and companies need cheap labors around, this is the reality.

  5. The whole issue of migrants is an explosive one certain to provoke strong feelings on both sides of the political spectrum. Personally I think there must be ways of solving this rather than taking these extreme measures. History is a great teacher. Learn from it.
