The Phenomenon Of Migration In France

Teacher Dragomir Diana- Oana, Costești Technological High School

21st century France is a multicultural country, a member of the EU and NATO, a country that respects human rights, a rule of law with a free market, but a restrictive country in terms of immigration. The French are of European, Gallo-Roman-Germanic ethnicity, but recent immigration is non-European, Arab-Berber and Negro, mostly Islamized. That is, totally different from the natives, from a genetic, cultural, religious point of view, of the collective mentality. But the French do not speak of "French ethnicity", but of "French citizenship", and in the official conception, a "Frenchman" = "a French citizen". During World War II, France, as a country acolyte to Nazi Germany, surrendered its own citizens, being part of the Jewish minority, to the Nazi occupation regime and also expelled antifascist political dissidents to their countries of origin. to bear the consequences of their beliefs on the part of far-right regimes in these countries. Workers from countries allied with the Vichy government and Nazi Germany were given preferential treatment, with clear discrimination in immigration policy at the time. At the end of World War II, Charles de Gaulle will sign the emergency ordinance on immigration, a political decision that will show that France is a country that declares itself willing to host immigrants. The idea of accepting a quota of 300,000 immigrants per year grouped into categories and selected on the basis of their ethnic or national origin was being circulated. The labor market had to be covered by the arrival of immigrants. Immigrants had residence permits valid for 1-10 years from one case to another, with the mention that immigrants were allowed to practice only one profession in France and had to declare each change of residence. The period 1945-1975 was a period of economic development in the history of France. The arrival of workers from Italy and North Africa has led to a positive evolution of immigration policy. Immigration laws in France were to be revised and amended due to membership in the European Community, and later in the European Union, which promotes the free movement of goods, services, capital and people. The European Union was in fact the decisive factor that promoted the free movement in France of workers from Poland, Romania or Bulgaria. The issue of Roma in France has been relevant since 2007 (the year of accession to the EU of Romania and Bulgaria), and their inability to meet social and integration needs has led to more and more exaggerated speculation, leading to an attitude discrimination in public space. The war in Syria has caused another international problem in the 21st century, namely the Refugee Crisis, and the EU has called on the great powers for France and Germany to receive a significant share of Syrian refugees. Thus, new measures have been established on migration:
