Problems of Immigration in France

Recently, news from Paris increasingly resembles reports from a combat zone

The situation that has developed in France today is least liked by ethnic French and tourists from European countries. Guides and tour guides indifferently warn the group about theft in the center of the capital, about the danger that awaits tourists in passageways and the metro, that in the evening one should not walk on unfamiliar streets. Every year such warnings become more relevant.

Having once taken responsibility for the 'deprived' Arabs and provided them with all conditions for comfortable living in Europe, France became a hostage of a lawless and numerous population, alien in their views, customs, and everyday behavior. How many cars have been burned in the last two years! In Paris in 2006, car centers were destroyed, warehouses where tires were stored – summer and winter tires, expensive automotive components from Europe and Japan – were set on fire. Such acts of vandalism cannot but outrage Europeans, accustomed to a measured and comfortable lifestyle, beautiful streets and neat lawns.

In the last two years, cases of attacks on European tourists have become frequent – at metro stations and in underground passages. Near the Russian embassy, our compatriots sleep on benches, from whom Arabs snatched bags with documents and money. It is very scary to be left without documents, even in a civilized European country. All problems that seemed significant yesterday – sending a child to a prestigious school, renovating an apartment, buying winter tires, signing up for the pool – seem trivial and completely irrelevant. Getting a certificate confirmation from Russia as quickly as possible and returning to the Motherland at any cost is now the main dream!

The police do not want to get involved with militant Arabs, they openly state this to the country's guests who have been victimized. At the slightest tightening of measures against emigrants, the Muslim world rises to their defense, and a series of new acts of vandalism follows. Today the problem is acute, and there is no reason to believe that it will be resolved anytime soon.
