Illegal Migrant Population in Paris No-Go Zone
Suburbs Hits 400,000, by Chris Tomlinson, 7/6/18, Breitbart There could be as many as 400,000
illegal immigrants living in Seine-Saint-Denis according to a report from
the French parliament.
The report claims that between eight and
20 percent of the population of Paris’s troubled northern suburb may be
constituted by illegal immigants and that many live on the streets because
of the strain the sheer number has put on social services, Le Figaro reports.
According to the report, the suburbs
suffer a poverty rate twice as high as Paris at 28 percent and an unemployment
rate three percentage points higher than the city to the south.
The report was authored by Rodrigue Koukouendo, a member
of President Emmanuel Macron’s Le Republique En Marche (LREM) party
and François Cornut-Gentille of the conservative Republicans, with
both authors noting that social services and police in the area were struggling
due to the number of illegals.
The two MPs suggested a
reform of the way the government collects statistical data to help the
problem writing: “To identify urban phenomena of ghettoisation, to explain
educational difficulties, to combat discrimination and to adapt the resources
of the police and the judiciary to a specific population, the question of
establishing so-called ethnic statistics is raised.” Currently, France does not collect the
ethnic or religious data on individuals in birth, criminal, or census
statistics joining other European countries like Sweden which has a similar
policy.
Following the destruction of the former
Calais Jungle migrant camp, Paris has become the main hub for illegal migrants.
Some estimate that as many as 500 or more migrants arrive in the city each day, with
thousands living homeless in makeshift migrant camps.
While Interior Minister Gérard Collomb
has made steps to dismantle the makeshift camps in the city, he slammed Mayor
of Paris Anne Hidalgo who he claims has not done enough to stop the camps from
reappearing after they are cleared.
Ms. Hidalgo has instead supported plans
proposed by Paris Communist Party politicians to build an
asylum accommodation in one of the cities’ major parks.
