Éric Ciotti is a French politician who has presided over Les Républicains (The Republicans, the center-right party founded by Nicolas Sarkozy) since 2022. He is a member of his party’s alleged “hard” wing, which aims to dissociate itself from President Emmanuel “Toy Boy” Macron.
In the following excerpt from a recent speech, Mr. Ciotti vows that he will do what so many others before him have promised but never delivered: crack down on illegal immigration.

| 00:00 | My friends, I will also speak with him about a subject that today threatens the Republic, | |
| 00:07 | its history, its identity, its culture. | |
| 00:11 | I will speak with him about immigration. I will tell him that we want no more rights for illegals. | |
| 00:19 | Those who have come to France illegally, violating our Republican pact, | |
| 00:26 | must not have any rights recognized. | |
| 00:29 | I will ask him to re-establish the crime of illegal residence, | |
| 00:37 | to reinstate the double penalty with the systematic expulsion of foreign delinquents. | |
| 00:43 | I will ask him that we be able, each year in the Parliament, | |
| 00:48 | to vote for immigration platforms, passed by parliamentarians. | |
| 00:53 | I will ask him to establish procedures for asylum outside our borders. | |
| 00:59 | I will ask him to suspend medical state aid that enables illegals to benefit | |
| 01:03 | from any reimbursement which not even the most precarious French people benefit from. | |
| 01:10 | I will ask him, of course, to oppose any kind of regularization, | |
| 01:17 | as in the case today, in the text that was presented to us, at the National Assembly, | |
| 01:22 | by Mr. Housséna, my dear friend Bruno, by Mr. Darmanin. | |
| 01:27 | Yes, I will reiterate in a global way the solemn appeal that we have launched with | |
| 01:33 | Olivier, with Bruno, to the President of the Republic, | |
| 01:38 | to consult the French National Assembly on immigration, by submitting | |
| 01:44 | our project of constitutional reform to a referendum. | |
| 01:49 | Because otherwise nothing will be possible, we will always be stuck in the slogans, | |
| 01:54 | in the speeches, and as a result, powerlessness, inaction, | |
| 02:00 | and immigration that will challenge our lifestyle, our culture, our history, our identity, | |
| 02:08 | our principle of republican secularism. |
Talk, talk, talk. Let’s see some walk, walk, walk.
Very well said. Would this man actually DO what he is campaigning on? In the USA, no one has done anything but talk their way into Congress only to turn and stab the voters in the back.
President Trump is the only exception. He is the only one who cared about ordinary Americans and his policies showed that.
I believe at some point, all citizens of whatever Western country, are going to have to stand up and go out into the streets singing.
Singing drove communists out of a country or two in recent history, surely we can do it, too!
“In the USA, no one has done anything but talk their way into Congress only to turn and stab the voters in the back.

Until the problem of ILLEGAL immigration is dealt with, I reckon all bets’re off.
“Obamerica’s Dirty(est) Secret.
Neither the Republicans, nor The Party have any intention of removing the ~40~50+ million ILLEGALS that currently reside within Obamerica….and that includes “Orange Hitler” [Trump]. Even the most vociferous opponents of ILLEGAL immigration are 100% SILENT on the subject of what to do with the tens of millions of ILLEGALS who’ve successfully broken our immigration, employment and housing laws by entering the country ILLEGALLY and using stolen/forged identification to secure housing and employment, without which their continued existence in the country would be impossible. Even “Orange Hitler” had NO plan to deal with the ILLEGALS his “beautiful wall” would’ve secured WITHIN Obamerica had he actually completed it.” —Me posted to fb (11 Oct 2021)
“Aux armes, citoyens!” No wait…..probably just another outburst.
I imagine it will really start with a dedicated follower or herd of followers of Islam somewhere assuming the infidel will respond as he always does these past few years. Instead the infidel
so blood thirsty now gets the ball rolling. It feels so good. It spreads around the world from Thailand to England. Rock and roll. Have a bonjour.
Adding to previous comment: I believe the “democrats” (c.1980s) had it right: Don’t go after the ILLEGALS, target those who’re housing and employing them—landlords and employers. Once the available pool of housing and jobs runs dry, they’ll all self-deport, at no cost to the tax-payers.
Of course, as the ‘toddlers’re well aware of the sheer effectiveness of such a plan, it’ll never be implemented. And no politician, including TRUMPTRUMPTRUMP, has any plan to deal with the tens of millions of ILLEGALS who’ve been residing within the US/EU/UK for the past few decades. Natch.
