IMMIGRATION: Cost of foreigners in France: the battle rages


  The case reopens Leonarda valves. Since loud expulsion of Roma girl aged 15 arrested Oct. 9 and his family, immigrants in France are at the center of discussions. A war of numbers is seen in the public sphere. At the heart of the turmoil: the financial cost of immigrants. A true "mass hysteria against the foreigners," as the site calls Politique.net, which led, in recent days, with detailed analyzes social benefits which are granted to them. Health coverage: too generous or essential? The daily "Le Figaro" has revealed the number of aid, which has benefited the Dibrani family over the past four years in France - 311 euros a month - and the cost of deportation - 11,800 euros - in an article for the prosecution against this "helped very" family. Dismissed in January 2011 by the National Court of Asylum, the Dibrani family should stop collecting all the aid from the reception center for asylum seekers (Cada) , judge daily. What Cada was not completely done. "Humanity forces," quips the author of this paper, dated 22 October. Reacting to what he considers lax system, Brice Hortefeux stated in response, on October 15 of RTL, the State Medical Aid (AME) - a device to e foreigners in an irregular situation to benefit from access to care - "benefited everyone, including people who came to the territory without asking permission" ,. "It costs half a billion, and it's totally free while for the French, there may be up to 50 euros franchise," continued the former UMP minister. An erroneous finding that the newspaper "Liberation", which notes that 4.5 million legal residents, including French, have equivalent more advantageous AME CMU-C. However, the president of the UMP Jean-Francois Cope, reiterated his proposal already made in 2012, that the EMA - which bene fited 200 000 foreign - must be removed, except in emergencies. One option, which could lead to a "real health problem in France," said for his part, Yves Jégo, MP for Seine-et-Marne and vice president of the centrist party IDUs in Paris Match. "Do not treat people is allowed to spread potential epidemics, which can be dangerous for the whole society. Not to mention the humanitarian aspect: we are committed to the fact that those who live in our area, and who are sick must be cared for, "he observes. A French exception? But for the UMP, it is primarily to correct a situation that makes France an exception in this area at European level. Law Reform soil loudly proposed by Jean-Francois Cope, includes, that France is "made less attractive socially." Because according to the mayor of Meaux, the Hexagon is too friendly compared to its European neighbors. False retorts again "Liberation" which states that "France is far from the country hosting the most migrants: 149,500 foreigners, against 497,000 in the United Kingdom , 430,400 in Spain and 317,200 in Germany ", according to figures from the European agency Eurostat. A battle data, in which the conservative magazine "Actual Values" has not failed to intervene. This goes further, denouncing pro-Rom lobby, in an article dated October 23, entitled "Roma lobby money." Not enough to appease the debate that relays to the environment dear to the far right subjects. Marine Le Pen is also merely reiterate its position - in favor of the abolition of the EMA and the right soil - substantially similar to the hard wing of the UMP, while accusing the former majority party to usurp his favorite themes for electoral purposes. The side of the Socialists, we shall without doubt difficult to break the case, given their timid interventions in the debate. Rare voices to be heard, the President of the PS Law Committee of the Assembly, Jean-Jacques Urvoas. "The right to speak too much immigration, the left is not enough," he says.
