Subject: A Breath of Fresh Air from France

 

Shalom,

 

Dear Professor Eidelberg.

 

I forwarded  your short article to one of the African Forums  that I participate 
in - the Gambian  Listserve, 

 

http://listserv.icors.org/archives/gambia-l.html

 

The following exchange of views took place  and  we greatly concerened  as 
to how you view larger context of the problem:

 

Cornelius, I am sorry to say that Professor Paul Eideberg is not right on
all counts in his arguments. I believe one has to follow closely the Sarkozy
"project" for France from his position as minister of Interior prior to his
becoming the President of the UMP to understand what he reserves for France.
What has Prof Eidelberg to say about the following pronouncements
paraphrased here:

On immigration:

"France cannot accept mixed couples (a French national and non-french
national) bringing to france their espouses if these cannot speak French.
They must first learn french in their countries until they master it before
coming to France."

This seems to me an arguable position in a country which, according to 
eminent scholars, is only a few decades from losing its national character.  

 

"Blacks and Arabs are the main causes of all the disruptions in the surburbs."

 

If this is factual, how does saying so reflect negatively on anyone?


"The form of immigration to be encouraged now should be 'chosen'
immigration" (this means only the intellectuals and the productive from the
third word particularlt Africa must be given visas to come to France"

 

Why should French wage-earners be taxed to support the many Arabs on 
welfare, especially when the latter do not identify with the French heritage? 


This is the tip of the iceberg on Sarkozy's foreign policy. I believe Prof
Eidelberg is very subjective in his information on Sarkozy.

Fatoumata
