'We don't share certain values', France says of U.S. migrant policy

PARIS (Reuters) - Europe and the United States do not share the same values, France's government spokesman said on Tuesday as outrage grows over the Trump administration's policy of separating immigrant parents and children arriving over the border from Mexico.

 

The European Union faces its own crisis over how to handle a years-long influx of migrants fleeing conflict in Africa and the Middle East and spokesman Benjamin Griveaux said he did not want to see what is happening in the United States occur in Europe.

 

"We do not share the same model of civilisation, clearly we don't share certain values," Griveaux told France 2 television.

 

The furore over the detained children stems from U.S. President Donald Trump's "zero tolerance" immigration policy, in which migrants apprehended entering the United States illegally are criminally charged.

 

Parents who are referred by border guards for prosecutions are held in federal jail, while their children are sent to separate detention facilities, some in remote locations.

 

Video footage released by the government showed migrant children held in wire cages, sitting on concrete floors. U.S. Democrats blasted the treatment as "barbaric", and even some conservative commentators have expressed alarm.

 

"These images are shocking," Griveaux said.

 

Trump administration officials say the tough approach is necessary to secure the border and deter illegal immigration.

 

Europe's migration crisis has increasingly defined regional politics. In Italy an anti-establishment government now holds power, and in Germany Chancellor Angela Merkel's coalition is fighting for survival over the migration issue.

 

A row over the fate of 629 migrants aboard a rescue ship last week exposed flaws in the EU's efforts to handle the migration influx and flung the issue back to the top of the agenda after Merkel's junior coalition partner gave her until a June 28-29 summit to get a migration deal.

 

Trump sought to exploit the political uncertainty in Germany on Monday, sending a tweet full of inaccuracies deriding the country, a highly unusual attack on an ally.

 

"Crime in Germany is way up," he wrote in the tweet, although crime statistics show that is false.

 

"Big mistake made all over Europe in allowing millions of people in who have so strongly and violently changed their culture!" Trump added, despite no evidence that European culture has been "strongly and violently" changed by migration.

No civilized country agrees with Trump on this issue.   Whether a country wants to be strict or lenient is up to them, but mean, cruel and abusive to children is not correct.

If this is what you believe France to be you obviously haven't been there and get your info from Trumpian sources.

Have you been there lately? If not, this detailed month-by-month review of a year of assimilating Islam into the country with the biggest Muslm population in Europe makes revealing reading:  https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/9791/france-islamization

 

It is particularly chilling when read in the context of the recent Washington Times piece predicting that France would have a Muslim majority within 40 years.

 

To the "progressive" Left, sources such as these will be scornfully dismissed as "right-wing" and "anti-Muslim". To the rest of us, however, they are a vital antidote to a politically correct and misguided mainstream media blinking myopically behind rose-tinted spectacles bearing the brand name Islamophile.

I think I'll put your dire prediction in the same category that most conservatives do with Climate Change.

The source is Charles Gave, who is not a demographer, the same guy who in 2011 predicted the death of the Euro within a year - LOL

It must be hard to breathe - let alone think rationally - with your head buried in the sand.

So what? Nobody gets it right all the time. How many "experts" forecast the financial meltdown a decade ago? 

 

I hope as earnestly as anyone that Gave has miscalculated and we can stem the tide of Islamisation being rolled out with the connivance of our political leaders and their politically correct minions in the mass media.

 

This prospect, however, has become increasingly unlikely with a truly astonishing EU initiative which would destroy the Internet as a public forum for debate not just on Islam but on all and any contentious issues.

These alarming proposals, if rubber stamped - as is the norm - by the European Parliament, will be the death of popular dissent not just across the EU but throughout the entire world. Yet they have hardly merited a mention in the UK media. No prizes for guessing why!
