If I were born in Afghanistan I’d do all in my power to get out of the place, a little more honesty on that matter might see others admitting so would they. Migrants are migrants. I agree, who wouldn't want to flee poverty and war but one must understand the receiving nations, they want to keep their national integrity/identity, their resources, their housing for their own people (already overstretched and expensive), they don't two systems (where the imam is the go to person for the town council) they don't want two legal systems (where sharia law eg, although superseded by the national law courts, is silently respected by the muslim immigrants). I lived for nigh on 40 years in Germany and the least willing to integrate with German society and their values were the Turks, even third generation Turks still spoke with an accent and kept to themselves, not all admittedly and most were hard working decent people but never the less still not fully integrated, the refusal came from them. With European nationals it was different, there being little to no difference in values and the language was readily accepted and used (after 15 years of being away I still dream in German and sometimes think in the language) The last thing any industrialised European country wants or needs is a goat herder from Afghanistan or a fisherman from Bangladesh with values that are controlled by religion, little to no education, a different language and an unwillingness to change. 3 1 3

After the event, he entered illegally, fell through the cracks in the system as a result and now complains about his situation instead of being grateful that he wasn't sent straight back after serving some time in prison. If I was in his situation I would be keeping a low profile and work illegally at any low paying job I could find, grateful that I was safe. Edited November 28, 2020 by soalbundy 2 2

Not really, migrant (for my understanding) assumes a right to permanently stay in the country, the word migrant coming from immigrant, a migrant has permanently changed his country and becomes a citizen of his new country. We are lower down the food chain we don't have the right to stay here we have permission to do so which can be withdrawn at any time. No matter how well we are integrated it matters not, we are long stay tourists nothing more. 6

Your understanding of what constitutes a migrant is incorrect. mi·grant /ˈmīɡrənt/ noun 1. a person who moves from one place to another, especially in order to find work or better living conditions. 1

Let me rephrase, , knife, guns and vehicle attacks made by migrant "co religionists" has led to French people being less than warm and welcoming. The OP is in reference to excessive French police violence against unarmed protesters, not a response to a terrorist attack. French police culture is now being investigated due to other violent attacks on minorities e.g. https://www.france24.com/en/france/20201127-macron-very-shocked-by-police-brutality-images-as-pressure-on-govt-mounts 1

"if you were born in Afghanistan .." you're right with a little common sense these people should refrain from producing at large scale migration candidates nobody in the West is willing to sponsor endlessly. Polygamy has consequences in a poor country. "A better life" ... for young men , because Europe isn't good for women according to their standards, LOL To be a migrant isn't an ambition in life, even more when you didn't really chose the country you moved to and find yourself stuck in France.

They dont enter illegally, it is perfectly legal to claim asylum. It is also perfectly normal to want to get away from foreign invaders starting a war. 1 3

What would have happened to Britain when we were at war ,if all the young men had run away? It is ridiculous to compare UK to Afghanistan. Afghanistan has had a cruel civil war for years, invaded twice in our lifetimes, with a massively corrupt unstable government. Afghanis are fighting for their country, but losing their lives in the hundreds every month with no reasonable outlook they will defeat the Taliban and IS. (one assumes due to endemic corruption). US is pulling out, which it has declared it will do for a number of years, contrary to big mouth trump previously declaring he would never publicly declare intentions or negotiate with the enemy during war. I don't know the percentage, but many Afghan asylum seekers / refugees are Shiite. There are an estimated 1.5 million Afghan refugees in Pakistan and roughly four million Afghanis in Iran, composing those registered to live, approx one million refugees and an estimated one million 'illegals'. Accordingly it's a relatively small number trying to reach the West. It would be logical those trying to gain refugee status in the West are seeking to assist their families who have been refugees for years, some more than twenty years with no hope. Last time the Taliban were losing territory hundreds of thousands of Afghans re-entered Afghanistan from Pakistan and Iran, obviously that's not going to happen again anytime soon, especially with IS added to the mix.

Smuggle into Europe under whatever false claim - the best root beeing the " asylum" . Get rejected from different countries, then finally end up in France - last port to the Atlantic.. Stay for a decade, undocumented. But do get social healthcare, have a few kids giving you rights to social benefits, make a living, settle. Then with the help pf comprehensive NGOs, get your situation legally cleared, .bring in the rest of your family . You just need to be patient , it works - you're just 1 among constant 1M without documents. processing the same way. Occasionnally, complain about French Pölice, racism, islamophobia... aboiut your living conditions, and French core values. and there are not enough mosques, schools to meet your needs. Your attempt to compare French migrants to usual illegal migrants from Asia , MENA, Africa, is utmost ridiculous, French people want their country back. With good reasons. Period.
