Illegal immigration: France on the brink of collapse
France is once again under siege. Recent figures show a 30% jump in illegal border crossings over just a few weeks, with French authorities intercepting more than 10,400 unauthorized entries so far this year.
The French-Italian border near Menton has become the focal point of this new wave. Migrants arriving via express trains from Italy or navigating treacherous routes under drone surveillance are routinely entering France with minimal resistance.
A coming tsunami if policies don’t change
Though the numbers haven’t yet reached the highs of 2023, projections suggest 15,000 interceptions by year’s end — matching last year’s record. France is scrambling: the gendarmerie, border police, and military forces (under Operation Sentinelle) have all been mobilized to confront this surge.
While many migrants are citizens of Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco, the presence of unaccompanied minors and radicalized individuals adds a security dimension that cannot be ignored.
Erosion of France’s fabric
The long-term consequences are already visible. The immigrant population in France has risen from 6.5% in 1968 to 10.2% today — now totaling over 6.7 million people. In areas like Île-de-France, immigrants now make up 37% of the population; in Seine-Saint-Denis, that share soars to 31.2%.
This demographic shift strains housing, infrastructure, and public services. Overcrowded classrooms, burdened hospitals, and congested transit systems are now daily realities in municipalities with high immigrant density.
Why Europe must wake up
The unchecked influx we see in France is not an isolated failure — it is the inevitable result of open-border ideologies, weak sovereignty, and a moral abdication by political elites.
When a state fails to guard its borders and protect its cultural identity, it forfeits legitimacy. When local communities are overwhelmed, the native population pays the price.
France’s experiment with mass immigration is unraveling the social compact — and it’s time for European nations to reclaim control over their borders, prioritize national cohesion, and reject the globalist narratives that pretend migration is cost-free.
