Wanna know what's goin' down in France, ya filthy immigrant? Bruno Retailleau, the minister with a mission to stamp out illegal immigration, doesn't sugarcoat it: "Illegal immigrants are not welcome here!" Since Janua-bloody-ry, they've nabbed a whopping 47,000 of you pesky invaders without papers.
Remember what happened back in 2015? France went full-on Terminator at their borders. They re-introduced border controls, and they ain't backing down anytime soon. Thanks to the Schengen Agreement, they can flex theirauthority in these exceptional circumstances. Don't think Germany's gonna let France hog the spotlight, though. They've beefed up their border controls and have been tellin' asylum seekers to take a hike.
So now, officers are patrolling train stations like hawks, lookin' for lil' ol' you to nab and give a taste of the French justice system. A recent sweep snagged 750 of you guys in May alone. France ain't foolin' around.
Now, about the Schengen Agreement - that's the EU's passport-free travel zone. France's taken advantage of this agreement, extendin' their border checks at Italy, Spain, Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium, and Switzerland. They're checkin' IDs here, there, and everywhere, from major train stations to border crossings.
You might be wondering about those documentless immigrants or, as the French likes to call 'em, "lucky" ones caught without IDs. Well, they end up in administrative detention, either for holding or detainment, before authorities facilitate their removal or further processing. And guess what? The French government plans to extend the detention period under a new immigration bill.
Now, let's talk about them residence permits - ya know, the papers that make you a legal guest in France. Illegal immigrants don't get these bad boys, but they can apply for asylum or other forms of regularization. However, France's focus is on keepin' you suspects out and expediting expulsions of those pesky paperless foreigners.
In summary, France's current immigration policies are tight, with tough border checks at train stations targeting irregular migrants and an extended administrative detention period for those caught slipping up. And don't even think about snagging a residence permit - unless you wanna be deported faster than you can say "french fries." That's the skinny on France's border control measures, so watch your back if you ain't welcome! Go get 'em, cops!
