Let's see, I believe that I wrote that:
1) France would need to deport immigrants who wouldn't assimilate
2) Limit immigration to those who have taken steps to assimilate
3) Admit that forced diversity is a failure and that people need to be responsible for fitting into society.
I've also written that the immigrants would need to assimilate into French culture.
Well, France's Prime Minister de Villepin announced some new policies which include that applicants for 10 Year residency permits or new citizens must master the French Language and integrate into society.
article 1
article 2
De Villepin said "integration into our society, notably command of the French language, should be a condition for bringing in one's family. That ensures the future of the spouse and of the children but also of society."
Well, It appears that for someone who doesn't "get it", I'm doing pretty well by the Prime Minister's standards. Of course a government will never "admit" that forced diversity is a failure, but de Villepin is basically doing so by demanding that immigrants integrate into society as a requirement for citizenship. Perhaps Mr. de Villepin doesn't "get it" either.
