France Bans Nigerian Students From Relocating With Families

The French parliament recently approved a legislation that introduces stringent measures affecting family reunion for migrants, including Nigerian students, as part of a revised immigration policy.

This measure, supported by President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist Renaissance party and Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally, has generated mixed responses.

The revised policy reinforces controls on family reunion, limits migrants’ access to welfare benefits, and introduces restrictions against the incarceration of minors in detention centers. However, leaders from a significant portion of France’s regions have expressed their dissent, refusing to implement specific legislative measures.

A notable aspect of the law delineates between citizens and migrants, including legally residing individuals in France, concerning eligibility for benefits, a move that has sparked debates and varied opinions.

The amended and more stringent version of the bill found support primarily among right-wing parties, culminating in its recent approval. Marine Le Pen of the National Rally celebrated the revised measure as an “ideological victory” for the far-right, while Eric Ciotti, leader of the right-wing Republican Party, lauded it as “firm and courageous.”

Conversely, left-wing factions criticized Macron’s support for the bill, perceiving it as aligning with the far-right. Olivier Faure, leader of the Socialist Party, warned of perceived betrayals of convictions, asserting that “history will remember those who betrayed their convictions.”
