There are enough illegal Africans in Europe, we don´t need more but the Legion has always been a refuge for men who needed help. In this case staying in France & a French pass i think. I am honest in saying i am not a fan of migrants in Europe but if they take him... make him sweat for his French pass. Hard as possible.
Oh i hope you can read this before gets deleted xD (making Joe work harder in the forum).
As a foreigner or an ALIEN (!!), US style to Europe, with the only tie being that my grandparents were Italians, I can see two strong points when it comes to migration, well the two more commons points to migration.
1) Economical issues. One the main point against migration, is that it, takes away jobs from the Natives. This is a speech that is being used from the US when they talk about Mexican, to Argentina and Brazil when they talk about Venezuelans, etc. Now this is my experience in The Netherlands and what I have seen.. They are undermanned when it comes to basic jobs that pay minimal wage (1,600 euros) or shy above it. I've been working on those jobs for this last years and most if not all the workers are non Dutch and the people in charge needs MORE people and have a hard time finding them. So i wonder how many jobs are taken away from the natives, when there is no native that want they job to begin with. Plus is not like those companies are underpaying people. They do follow the law.
and
2) Cultural issues: here I do see a lot friction between Africans countries and European ones... Let's be honest in the American continent we don't really have culture, countries are too young and we are mostly for the money and we couldn't care much about culture.
They were allowed to carry and practice their religion and culture (of course in their countries you are not allowed to practice your own religion or culture...), even so some of these people will find any reason to complain and cry racism and complain about the culture...
A good example in the NL is Zwarte Piet... When i came to the NL for the first time 16 years ago, people didn't seem to care about it or even say it's a racist character. It was just another tradition that's celebrate in early December part of the Dutch culture. A few year (near 2012), I did start to see around December a lot of complaints that " IT IS RACIST!!! YOU ARE MOCKING MY ANCESTORS!!!".. Now talking to some Dutch, it seems that they were brainwashed to be ashamed to their culture... But in the other hand Europe had his nose in African for a long time too... In the end it will be a big problem in the future.
