A large group of migrant squatters from sub-Saharan Africa has been camped out of in front of City Hall — the Hôtel de Ville — in Paris, within sight of the cathedral of Notre Dame (currently under reconstruction). The following video features interviews with some of the illegal immigrants who broke the law to come to Paris and now sleep on the street while subsisting on handouts from various aid groups.
It’s difficult to summarize the various strands of the Narrative that intersect in this video. The unfortunate culture-enrichers, with their puir wee bairns — don’t they tug at your heartstrings?
But think about this: these people — mostly women — came to Paris illegally, and paid significant amounts of money to traffickers in order to reach their destination. By their own admission they were not fleeing war and oppression. They were simply looking for a better deal than what they were offered at home. And they were willing to spend a lot of money to travel to Paris and sleep on the street.
And then, when they got to their destination and took up their al fresco accommodations, they engaged in a little amorous hanky-panky that resulted in the birth of yet more puir wee bairns, which can then be used as heart-rending props to induce the French state and its obedient citizens to open up their wallets and dole out even more money to support the culture-enrichers.
One more thing: the migrants camped on the square are all wearing masks, like good little obedient drones. Who told them to do that? It surely wasn’t a spontaneous act on their part. Who made sure that they were all masked up?

Video transcript:
| 00:00 | There are others who have been here for six months, others for three months, | |
| 00:04 | others who have been here for more than that. —Are you all from Ivory Coast? | |
| 00:08 | —No, from Africa. There are Guineans, Malians, Burkinabès, | |
| 00:12 | Nigerians among us, Senegalese, there is everything. | |
| 00:16 | We come from Africa. | |
| 00:21 | OK, hello everyone. We’re here in front of the city hall of Paris. | |
| 00:24 | We saw a pretty shocking video circulating where we could see | |
| 00:27 | a lot of miserable people on the street. | |
| 00:40 | We’re going to go there to see what’s going on. Let’s go. So here I’m clarifying the context. | |
| 00:43 | It’s 10 am. | |
| 00:46 | A lot of tourists in the square. | |
| 00:54 | And we’re at the city hall, decorated… | |
| 00:57 | with the colors of the Olympic Games. | |
| 01:00 | Which will be held in a year. | |
| 01:05 | This square is beautiful. | |
| 01:08 | It’s beautiful. We can see Notre Dame over there, under reconstruction. | |
| 01:11 | Well, let’s go and see what’s going on. | |
| 01:14 | The first thing I can say is that, in the videos that circulate on the Internet, | |
| 01:18 | there’s an effect that gives the impression of… pretty general misery throughout the square. | |
| 01:26 | Whereas in reality, it’s pretty much limited to a precise spot. | |
| 01:30 | You see, the square is perfect, and in fact… | |
| 01:33 | people, migrants, because I think they’re migrants or homeless people, | |
| 01:37 | are… in a small space, actually. | |
| 01:43 | So there’s a little optical illusion. But I recognize in the video, they start from there, | |
| 01:48 | they walk, trolololo, along stuff… And there’s actually a metro station. | |
| 01:51 | People can go out there and discover that by getting out of the metro, it’s true. | |
| 01:55 | Well, let’s go see it closer. | |
| 02:05 | Hello. I’ve been in France since November. | |
| 02:11 | How is it going? —Well… | |
| 02:14 | We’re in France, here, we’re not… | |
| 02:17 | Well, I don’t know what else to say, because it’s beyond me. | |
| 02:22 | It’s beyond me, really. | |
| 02:25 | Since we came here, we’ve been sleeping. | |
| 02:29 | First, it was at the bottom of the bridge, we slept. | |
| 02:32 | You’ve been sleeping in the street for nine months now? With your children? | |
| 02:36 | With my children. We sleep at the bottom of the bridge, but since we came, | |
| 02:40 | it’s been fifteen minutes, often a week, often a month. | |
| 02:45 | And we’re still being left here. —And how do the passers-by react when they see you, the French? | |
| 02:51 | Honestly, I… We can’t… We can’t lie. | |
| 02:54 | There are people who are in good faith. They bring us what they can. | |
| 02:58 | Food, clothes, a little support. | |
| 03:02 | Often, the passers-by look at us like that, they’ve never seen us before. | |
| 03:06 | They take pictures of us. We complain about that. | |
| 03:10 | Why do they take pictures of us? The girl took all the pictures. | |
| 03:14 | We’re here, you’re going to do the report. You’re going to take pictures of us with the bags. | |
| 03:18 | Or you, are you glad to see like this? So, there’s always a mess here. | |
| 03:24 | We complain, telling them not to do that. You can come by, you can look at us. | |
| 03:28 | I’ll allow myself to… I think that people… A lot of people | |
| 03:33 | are shocked to see people sleeping in the street, etc. They’re shocked by this situation. | |
| 03:37 | No, it doesn’t bother us. Because it’s not normal, all that. | |
| 03:41 | And it makes people feel sorry. —The question is, does France have the means to welcome you? | |
| 03:46 | Yes, France has the means to welcome us, of course. | |
| 03:49 | Because we’re immigrants, not everyone is like that. | |
| 03:52 | They have to welcome us well, even. What did we do? | |
| 03:56 | We came here to be safe, actually. | |
| 03:59 | But here, at night, they steal from us. | |
| 04:02 | I have a sister who’s pregnant. They stole all her things. | |
| 04:07 | Even her hospital papers, they took everything. —How old is the little one? | |
| 04:11 | Six months. But this is where he lives. —Is it normal? —No, it’s not. | |
| 04:15 | Is it normal? —He’s a little older. | |
| 04:19 | There are babies that are two weeks old here. | |
| 04:22 | Is it normal? —When you suffer, you don’t have good conditions. | |
| 04:27 | They come and want to take your child away. —Why? —The mother is suffering, | |
| 04:31 | the father has no solution, he doesn’t have papers. The child has no solution. | |
| 04:35 | You come now, you want to take our children away. —Why? —I don’t want to sleep outside. | |
| 04:40 | Tell them, sir, that we don’t want to sleep outside. But I understand you. | |
| 04:45 | We’re tired. You see, there’s a baby there, a baby. | |
| 04:48 | Hello, ma’am. How old is the child? How old is he? | |
| 04:52 | Two months. —Is it your child? —Yes. —Oh my God. | |
| 04:57 | Two months. You’re pregnant? | |
| 05:00 | Yes. —And you have gestational diabetes? | |
| 05:03 | Yes. —And do you have the necessary medication? | |
| 05:06 | No, I don’t have the medication. I can’t find the food I am supposed to eat. | |
| 05:12 | Sometimes the diabetes goes up, sometimes it goes down. | |
| 05:16 | And it’s not good for me and the child. | |
| 05:19 | Yes. I saw. You followed them, then, anyway? —Yes, I followed them at Porte Royale. | |
| 05:25 | But sometimes I don’t get something to eat. | |
| 05:28 | Sometimes I have trouble. | |
| 05:31 | It goes up, it goes down. And if it goes down, I risk having a crisis. | |
| 05:36 | And it’s not good for me and it’s not good for the child, either. | |
| 05:40 | The life we live here is not easy at all. | |
| 05:44 | We are tired. Pregnant woman, you can’t find what to eat. | |
| 05:49 | You can’t find what to do. | |
| 05:52 | It’s not easy. | |
| 05:55 | It’s not easy at all. —Be brave, madam. | |
| 05:59 | These children who play. I don’t know… | |
| 06:06 | What a misery, what a misery! Damn… | |
| 06:10 | * sigh * —OK, the subway exit… | |
| 06:16 | The city hall… I’m a volunteer, so is this man, we’re volunteers from the Order of Malta. | |
| 06:20 | Trust me, believe me, in Paris misery is not only in front of the City Hall. | |
| 06:24 | I checked yesterday evening, I saw thirty people. And there’s not just one person. | |
| 06:28 | You see, I come back from delivering breakfast. We provide breakfast, we, the Order of Malta, | |
| 06:32 | in front of the City Hall, every Sunday morning. And every Sunday morning, | |
| 06:35 | fifty people come to have breakfast. And it’s not just the people | |
| 06:38 | we see who sit in front of the City Hall of Paris. —And it goes up, year after year? | |
| 06:41 | It goes up every day. Every day, every day. There will always be misery, everywhere. | |
| 06:45 | And unfortunately, they’re going there because you’re here to publicize the situation | |
| 06:48 | through media, that’s why they’re in front of the city hall. But you don’t talk about | |
| 06:51 | all the other people, during the entire year. All year round. | |
| 06:54 | —I do, but… —You do, maybe. —I understand. | |
| 06:57 | —But there are very few people who do that. Here, it’s good, it’s over-publicized. | |
| 07:00 | But it’s business, what they do with that. It’s because they’re not… | |
| 07:04 | I’m not saying they’re not miserable, but it’s not the main… | |
| 07:08 | the biggest misery in the world. Because they have three or four associations | |
| 07:12 | who come every day and give them food. Every day, and they don’t starve. | |
| 07:16 | Whereas there are people at the end of the street… Nobody comes by in the summer. | |
| 07:20 | Stay here all day, you’ll see how many associations come by. And if you go 300 meters up there, | |
| 07:26 | there are homeless people, and nobody comes to see them. I mean, the problem is… | |
| 07:30 | It’s nice to see them, but here, it’s because it’s politicized and publicized through media. | |
| 07:33 | People come to see them, there are associations who come by. | |
| 07:36 | But there are a lot of people that the associations don’t visit. A lot, a lot, a lot. | |
| 07:40 | By the way, how do you eat? What do you eat? We don’t eat! | |
| 07:43 | We don’t eat. We don’t eat at all. | |
| 07:47 | We stay… It’s the people… In the morning, there’s a man who comes with bread… | |
| 07:51 | with juice… for the children. | |
| 07:55 | That’s how it is, we’re told to be like that. That’s how we live. We eat. | |
| 08:00 | That’s not normal at all, it’s hot. | |
| 08:04 | We’re tired. We’re tired. | |
| 08:08 | Please… Tell them to come and help us, to come to us now. | |
| 08:13 | We’re tired. When I came, they explained to me, Utopia explained to me… | |
| 08:18 | that they don’t have any permanent housing solution. | |
| 08:22 | It’s just one night, one night… that they can give people to avoid them sleeping on the street. | |
| 08:27 | And when we came, they gave us one night, one night… | |
| 08:30 | in Akassia. So, it’s been two months now that Akassia has been closed. | |
| 08:36 | So, during all this time… | |
| 08:39 | we sleep at the bottom of the bridge. If it rains, it’s over there. | |
| 08:43 | When there’s sun, it’s over there. When there’s snow, it’s over there. | |
| 08:47 | That’s how we survive. So, it’s been three weeks since we started the demonstration. | |
| 08:52 | And they don’t respond. We’re always here. | |
| 08:56 | We’re here. We suffer. The children, the pregnant women, the two-month-old babies… | |
| 09:02 | Three weeks, two months, one week are here. | |
| 09:05 | We’re tired. | |
| 09:08 | When we want to pee, we pee outside. When we want to[defecate], we [defecate] outside. | |
| 09:11 | Except the day when shelters are open. | |
| 09:14 | When we want to wash ourselves, we go there. | |
| 09:17 | But we can go for three days, four days without washing ourselves. | |
| 09:20 | I don’t understand. | |
| 09:23 | So, Utopia asks you to go to the town hall to claim housing? | |
| 09:26 | When we come here… —Yes? —Utopia takes our names. Yes, normal. | |
| 09:30 | Yes. When they take our names, what is it for? | |
| 09:33 | It’s to give them to the French state… | |
| 09:36 | Because they can’t help us. Yes. | |
| 09:39 | Now, the French state learned of this. | |
| 09:42 | They sent a message to Utopia in order to give us housing accommodations. | |
| 09:45 | Yes. And Utopia didn’t give them to you? —Utopia didn’t give them to us. | |
| 09:48 | Maybe because there are too many people. —No! | |
| 09:52 | They [unintelligible]! It’s for the color of our skin! | |
| 09:56 | The skin? How? —They gave housing to the French, to the Tunisians, to the Moroccans, whatnot. | |
| 10:02 | Ah yes. Ah yes, ah yes. | |
| 10:07 | They [unintelligible], sir. So they gave housing to the Maghreb people? | |
| 10:11 | Yes. And not to you? —Not to us. So now, we’re even angry with them. | |
| 10:17 | Ah yes, okay. —Because it’s not good. | |
| 10:20 | Please, these words must not be cut out. | |
| 10:23 | Let the French state listen. | |
| 10:27 | All they have to do is to come to us. It is we who are fighting here now. | |
| 10:31 | We don’t see Utopia anymore. Because they do nothing for us. | |
| 10:35 | And you thought that your situation would improve in France? —That’s what I thought. | |
| 10:39 | But it’s not… My situation is not… | |
| 10:45 | Because in the country, I collect garbage. | |
| 10:48 | So that I can get food, and I’ll give it to my parents too. | |
| 10:53 | So I said, maybe if I come here, I’ll get away a bit. But I come here, it’s not just to… | |
| 10:58 | What can I do? —I’m sorry, sir. | |
| 11:01 | Honestly. I understand, madam. I’m not afraid of you. | |
| 11:04 | It’s incredible what’s happening here, actually. | |
| 11:07 | Incredible. But we also have to understand… | |
| 11:11 | the people who live in this country. And who say that… we can’t welcome | |
| 11:16 | all the misery in the world. Do you understand that? —Yes, we understand. We understand. | |
| 11:20 | France does a lot for us, we understand. | |
| 11:23 | We’d like them to do even more. | |
| 11:26 | Yes. We understand. It’s difficult in our countries. | |
| 11:30 | We also know that it’s difficult for them. Of course. Money or gold, | |
| 11:34 | I don’t know, it doesn’t come from heaven. We look for it. Or… | |
| 11:37 | But we know that… by knocking on their door, | |
| 11:42 | they can answer us, because we fled from our countries to come here, to be safe. | |
| 11:47 | But if even if police hit us… | |
| 11:51 | The police hit my sister. They dragged my sister on Friday. | |
| 11:55 | There’s another one, they are down the bridge. They are… | |
| 11:58 | They are… They are there too. They dragged her. The little girl is crying behind her mom. | |
| 12:04 | The police don’t care. They come and tell us that they’re protecting us. | |
| 12:11 | That’s how they protect people. Like dogs. | |
| 12:15 | You see? As soon as they push… | |
| 12:18 | They hit us. They hit my stomach. | |
| 12:21 | Were you protesting in front of the town hall? | |
| 12:28 | We’ve been here for three weeks, so we’ve decided to go there now. | |
| 12:31 | Because they chased us from down there, from the bridge. | |
| 12:35 | They came here last Wednesday, | |
| 12:38 | to tell us to leave. We refused, so they left on Friday to… | |
| 12:42 | chase us from there. Where are we supposed to go? | |
| 12:45 | Where are we supposed to go? So we came to the town hall now. | |
| 12:49 | Even if they don’t pity us, they need to pity our children. | |
| 12:52 | They’re tired. What kind of education are we going to give to our children tomorrow? | |
| 12:55 | No, no, but the situation is terrible. | |
| 12:58 | You’re exposed to all kinds of dangers. | |
| 13:02 | Drug addicts, crazy people… | |
| 13:05 | Huh? It’s crazy here. And the kids, oh my… | |
| 13:10 | With children, nine-month-old children, six-month-old children, | |
| 13:16 | two and a half years old… —I have a question for you, ma’am. | |
| 13:19 | If you had known that the situation was like this in France, would you have come? | |
| 13:24 | Well, I can’t answer that question, because in my country… I’m a poor person. | |
| 13:31 | My parents are poor. I don’t have anyone who can help me. | |
| 13:36 | That’s why I’m here. When you’re poor, there’s no one that can help you, so… | |
| 13:41 | What do you do? So I’m poor. I’m a poor person’s child. | |
| 13:46 | There, you see… The guys taking selfies next to the extreme misery, | |
| 13:52 | that always made me hallucinate. (I think I got an idea. Go to the right.) | |
| 13:58 | It’s a very touristic place. Hello, madam! | |
| 14:01 | What do you think of the situation? | |
| 14:04 | I’m not from here, I don’t know what’s going on. | |
| 14:07 | Well, look. | |
| 14:15 | OK, OK, OK, OK, everybody doesn’t care. | |
| 14:19 | How did you cross the Mediterranean? —We did like the others, | |
| 14:22 | the little pirogues, what do you call them? | |
| 14:25 | The boats? —Not the boats, the fishing pirogues. | |
| 14:28 | Really? —Yes, it’s very hard. We stayed almost five days at sea. | |
| 14:33 | It wasn’t easy. My child was sick. | |
| 14:36 | We don’t want any story, we just want to stay in our little corner, | |
| 14:40 | so that our situation is solved at last. | |
| 14:45 | My question is, wasn’t it better in Ivory Coast? | |
| 14:48 | Yes, of course it’s better in Ivory Coast. | |
| 14:51 | But we came to protect our children here. | |
| 14:55 | That’s why we came. | |
| 14:58 | We came here, we are on the street like this. | |
| 15:01 | Did your children take any risks in Ivory Coast? | |
| 15:05 | Yes. —What was the risk, the danger? | |
| 15:08 | Excision. —What’s that? —Excision. —Excision? | |
| 15:12 | Yes. —Because of excision, we came here. | |
| 15:16 | Why aren’t there any men among you? —They are over there, they are washing themselves. | |
| 15:20 | Ah, they are washing themselves? —There are a lot of men down the bridge. | |
| 15:23 | There are other men there. They are washing themselves so they can come here. | |
| 15:27 | Yesterday, a woman could lie on a bed. | |
| 15:30 | But when she finishes her stay at the hospital, | |
| 15:33 | they will put her outside. Without attending to her anymore. | |
| 15:37 | People come to film us here. —Yes, I saw that. | |
| 15:40 | That video that came out on the internet. —To put bad comments. | |
| 15:44 | Others come to spit on us. Others come to talk. | |
| 15:48 | Others tell us “go home, we will film you”. But wait. | |
| 15:51 | Here too, we are home. We are all the same. | |
| 15:55 | We are home, too. Wait, if the migrant comes from a country, | |
| 16:01 | you have to welcome the migrant well. | |
| 16:05 | At the same time, you also have to understand, | |
| 16:09 | that a lot of people come. It’s difficult for the French state to manage all these people. | |
| 16:14 | Yes, it’s true. But since November, | |
| 16:17 | the French haven’t been helping us. That’s not normal. | |
| 16:22 | We say that 115 are here. 115 now. | |
| 16:26 | 115 say, once a week. What are we going to do? Where are we going now? | |
| 16:31 | We don’t wash ourselves. We don’t brush our teeth. | |
| 16:35 | We are dirty. What are we going to do? | |
| 16:38 | A dirty woman like that? A woman should always be clean, like these children. | |
| 16:44 | So, what am I doing? | |
| 16:48 | We’re going to make a tour around the city hall. | |
| 16:52 | We’re going to visit the neighborhood. I was told that there was a bridge, | |
| 16:56 | under which there was a lot of misery. We’re going to see that. | |
| 16:59 | So here we are in front of Beaubourg. | |
| 17:02 | The very ugly building Beaubourg, | |
| 17:05 | which is a museum. | |
| 17:08 | Oh yes, okay, indeed. It’s here. | |
| 17:12 | Okay, so here it’s really… | |
| 17:18 | Why are you here and not at the town hall with the others? | |
| 17:21 | Where? —In front of the town hall. There are people who settled down | |
| 17:24 | in front of the town hall. —Yes, yes, yes, we go there. We come to sleep here. | |
| 17:28 | Ah, you sleep there? —Yes, yes, yes, we come to sleep here. | |
| 17:31 | We go to have breakfast over there. We come to sleep here at night. | |
| 17:34 | But it’s scary with the children at night here, isn’t it? Yes, yes, everything. | |
| 17:38 | We have to keep the children here. There are more than 300 people here. | |
| 17:42 | More than 300? Yes, yes, yes, you see the mattresses, people are out like that. | |
| 17:47 | 300 people here? Yes, we are many, sir, we are many, we are many. | |
| 17:51 | In any case, we suffer, all we want is housing. Because we are tired. | |
| 17:56 | We are tired of sleeping on the road. We are tired. | |
| 17:59 | Madam, where do you come from? Which country? | |
| 18:02 | There are… We are many, there is the Ivory Coast, there is Mali, | |
| 18:05 | there is the Senegal, there is Guinea, there is Niger, there are many, many. | |
| 18:09 | We are mixed. Even Burkinabès, we are all mixed. | |
| 18:12 | But they are not countries at war, they are countries that are… at peace? | |
| 18:16 | No, there are countries, for example, the Ivory Coast, there is no war in Ivory Coast. | |
| 18:21 | The Ivory Coast is at peace, but it’s the situation. | |
| 18:25 | Me, at the moment, in my family, there is forced marriage, | |
| 18:30 | there is excision, there is everything. It’s just that I lived it, | |
| 18:33 | I won’t let my children live through the same thing. | |
| 18:36 | I wanted to save my children. We crossed the sea to come here, to come and find a shelter, | |
| 18:43 | to be able to be safe. | |
| 18:46 | We still don’t have it. We are not safe. | |
| 18:49 | There have been too many deaths. Look, there. | |
| 18:53 | You have the luggage… You have people who leave their stuff here during the day | |
| 18:58 | so they don’t get robbed. They come back in the evening, they take their stuff back. | |
| 19:03 | And they settle down… there too. | |
| 19:07 | So here we are literally in front of Beaubourg. | |
| 19:11 | Beaubourg is a place…central in Paris. | |
| 19:22 | So people are… passing by the misery, like that, quietly. | |
| 19:26 | No choice, at the same time. What do you think about the situation here? | |
| 19:34 | It seems that at night, there are 300 to 400 people sleeping. It’s not normal. First, the smell. | |
| 19:40 | Yeah, complicated, huh? The smell of [urine] is a bit… | |
| 19:43 | — strongly unpleasant. —Yeah. After, we’re just passing by, so… | |
| 19:47 | Oh, you’re not from Paris? —Oh, not at all. And so, now, you’re discovering Paris? | |
| 19:50 | You knew Paris? —I knew Paris, but… Well, I knew it. | |
| 19:53 | I’ve been here several times, but… —Is Paris changing? —Paris is changing, yes. | |
| 19:58 | Paris evolves, that’s for sure. —Yeah? —Paris evolves, after… | |
| 20:03 | I don’t know whether it’s for better, but… —It’s… —The smell of urine is… | |
| 20:07 | It’s a bit… —…flagrant. But we have the impression that there’s more… | |
| 20:10 | I’m telling you, more and more misery in Paris. Would you agree with me on that? | |
| 20:13 | Well… it’s becoming more and more visible. —Yes, that’s for sure. It’s becoming | |
| 20:16 | more and more visible, that’s true. —Maybe… I don’t know if there’s more, | |
| 20:19 | but it’s becoming more visible, that’s for sure. Especially now that we’re at the city hall, it’s… | |
| 20:22 | So, on one hand, you have the beautiful landscape… —It’s prestigious, | |
| 20:25 | and on the other… —And on the other hand… —…the misery. —…the misery. | |
| 20:28 | It’s crazy, huh? We wonder what the tourists who come to Paris will think. | |
| 20:32 | Well, in their country, isn’t it the same? | |
| 20:35 | Yeah, misery is… everywhere, but it’s true that… | |
| 20:40 | Whether in… Paris or other big cities, | |
| 20:43 | we want to show the reality or not, I don’t know, but it’s true that the reality is very present. | |
| 20:48 | The tourist is facing reality. It’s true that if we only show him… | |
| 20:51 | the surface… Because now, there are the Olympic Games. —Yes, that’s it. | |
| 20:56 | Yes, we get it. I think they will be no longer there. —Well, they’ll evict them… | |
| 20:59 | That’s for sure. —…for the time of the Olympic Games. —That’s what I find… sad. | |
| 21:03 | Well, sad… I mean… We clear the misery, the time of the Games, and then… | |
| 21:08 | They can come back. We’re going to show… Paris… | |
| 21:14 | and France… not under a dark face. | |
| 21:18 | I have a question for you. How did you cross the Mediterranean? | |
| 21:21 | We came by sea. —But you paid someone? | |
| 21:24 | Yes. We worked hard in Tunisia. —How much did you pay? Oh yeah, you worked in Tunisia? | |
| 21:29 | In Tunisia, we worked hard. We worked in Algeria… | |
| 21:34 | to pay to get here. How much did you pay? | |
| 21:37 | It depends, there’s no…fixed price. —Oh yeah? —No. | |
| 21:41 | There’s no fixed price. We crossed by sea to arrive in… | |
| 21:45 | Italy, we came from Italy, here now. When you worked in Algeria and… | |
| 21:50 | and you worked in Tunisia, what did you work in? | |
| 21:53 | Uh… housekeeping. | |
| 21:56 | Oh yeah? —Housekeeping, restaurants, that’s it. —And you were paid for that? | |
| 21:59 | What? We were paid for that. —You were paid for that, you saved… | |
| 22:03 | Yes, to come here. And you paid your ticket, your… | |
| 22:06 | —boat ticket. —Yes. And what kind of boat is it? Are they small boats? | |
| 22:11 | They’re small boats…in fact either… I mean… | |
| 22:14 | Oh yeah? —Yes. —That’s scary. —Very scary! | |
| 22:18 | We crossed the sea, we saw bodies in the water. We were shipwrecked. | |
| 22:23 | We got on board, we got here. Still no solution. | |
| 22:28 | We don’t ask them for money. | |
| 22:31 | Nothing. We just want… | |
| 22:34 | an accommodation… that’s all. They take off their clothes and dry them there, that’s normal. | |
| 22:45 | And if your situation doesn’t change, for several months, for several years, | |
| 22:48 | what are you going to do? —We’re still going to stay here | |
| 22:51 | because we still don’t have a solution. —And you don’t think that maybe returning… | |
| 22:54 | Where are you from, ma’am? Returning home? —How can we leave? —Why not? | |
| 22:58 | We can’t leave the country. The way we came, | |
| 23:01 | we came to fight because in that country, things go wrong. It’s not good… | |
| 23:05 | In the country, you can say, “Now there’s Ivory Coast, there are no buildings, there’s nothing.” | |
| 23:10 | But it’s those who have the money who can say that. | |
| 23:13 | I, for example, in my country, even simple food, good food to eat, | |
| 23:18 | I can’t have it because it’s not good at all there. | |
| 23:21 | But it’s the same here? —Yes. —You have trouble eating? —Yes, it’s the same. | |
| 23:24 | No, here at least, they come to give us presents. | |
| 23:27 | They come to give us food, clothes, everything. | |
| 23:31 | Everything we want, they give it to us. | |
| 23:34 | But there are associations, there are good people who come to help us here. | |
| 23:38 | But in the country, there is none. While there are the Ivorians in France here, | |
| 23:42 | who are looking for food, there are French people too in Ivory Coast. | |
| 23:45 | There are French people everywhere in the world. On the other hand, there are Ivorians, | |
| 23:49 | not only in France, but also around the world. We are in a multipolar world, aren’t we? | |
| 23:54 | We can’t tell someone not to necessarily migrate there. | |
| 23:57 | “Don’t necessarily migrate here.” You may feel comfortable in France | |
| 24:01 | because of the French constitution, the French laws, | |
| 24:05 | maybe the freedom that exists in France. You know that maybe if you arrived in France, | |
| 24:10 | you would be a little free. You come to France. On the other hand, | |
| 24:13 | some are in Germany, some in Italy, some in Spain, everywhere. | |
| 24:16 | What’s completely crazy is the hypocrisy of the left about immigration. | |
| 24:20 | The clear result of immigration is this, it’s misery everywhere. | |
| 24:23 | And they keep saying that everything is fine, | |
| 24:26 | that it’s all good, we must continue. | |
| 24:30 | It’s really [nonsense]. Reality is super brutal and… | |
| 24:36 | It’s impossible to say that this result is good. | |
| 24:42 | It’s also a bit like a vicious circle, Yeah, that’s what I’m trying to make them understand. | |
| 24:47 | That it’s a vicious circle that never stops. Because, OK, imagine you welcome them well. | |
| 24:53 | Which would be desirable, humanely. | |
| 24:57 | The problem is that afterwards, you have… …10,000 more to welcome. It’s impossible. | |
| 25:02 | It’s not… It doesn’t hold. It’s pure theory. | |
| 25:07 | But in reality, how do you welcome so many people? | |
| 25:10 | How many do you think each left-wing elected person welcomes? | |
| 25:15 | Yeah, it would be interesting to ask them. “Hey, that’s what I’m gonna do with… | |
| 25:20 | I’m gonna do that with Prince. I’m gonna call him, I’m gonna tell him… | |
| 25:24 | I’m gonna offer him a report, I’m gonna tell him, “Let’s go to a neighborhood | |
| 25:28 | where idiots who vote left-wing, live, who are pro-immigration, | |
| 25:31 | and we’re gonna tell them “There, you have one, go ahead, welcome him, what are you waiting for?” | |
| 25:35 | We have to rub their noses in their poop, the leftists who vote… who vote for that. | |
| 25:42 | “Hey, that’s what we’re gonna do with Prince.” | |
| 25:45 | That’s cool. For a next video. | |
| 25:50 | Don’t make me angry. Don’t make me angry with you. | |
| 25:53 | Soon, we’ll only have rich and poor people, no middle class. It’s risky. | |
| 25:57 | Someone can come and take our children from us. They smoke drugs, they drink alcohol… | |
| 26:02 | Yes, it makes me angry. They leave me here. | |
| 26:05 | Why? We are in this situation, you come and give us problems again? What answer do you have | |
| 26:09 | for those who would tell you that they don’t want to see France transformed and become Africa? |
Is just outrageous what is happening in France and all over Western Europe!!, this women excepting give them everything for free !! And they came illegal , by boats from all over Africa, looks and feels like a bad dream for Europeans !, they have to pay for this [odoriferous substance] !!
Mask keep you from ID them ,yes they have travel far put nothing into the French tax system are unskilled and refuse to adapt to French cultural or work .Now the taxpayers must foot the bill to house, give clothing ,feed and give medical attention to them .As pensions are cut for citizens who payed into the system in some cases for 40 years. Diversity is strength except when cultural enriches are ask to pull their weight ,or pay taxes, or follow the laws of the countries that foot their benefits .Keep importing them make France a true third world country , of course the men folk do not stay with the women they get pregnant or come with them on the “boat trip”(or so they say in public)they will hook up with their families after the “single moms” get a free housing space on the public dime .Keep a low profile when their families get housed better benefits for single women with children then women with a partner. Yes this hid the man of the house when “social services ” checking on the “single mom” with no mate has been the game played in many American cities housing projects for the last 50 years. You have 4 generations living on the dole ,many with a man on the side who works a good paying job off the books ,or deals drugs ,or other social accepted behavior in the diversity voting block in American blue cities as taxpayers who can flee these blue cities leave .Look to many cities in New York including rustbelt upstate New York the whole group of major cities on the west left coast of America ,many rust belt cities in Americas Midwest all solid blue all approving encouraging pushing a third world status a voting block of takers . What will they do when good taxpaying citizens and most businesses leave the cities who will pick up the bill?
Europeans, like so many Americans, keep sitting still for the importation of their replacements. When will the majority of the people wake up and see what the so-called elites are doing to Western countries? This is ultimate treason against the legitimate citizens!
When ‘they’ feel the time is right, they will crash it all down, take everything we own (or thought we owned) away via the new rules they passed in secret, and then we will ‘own nothing (but we won’t be happy) as the fiend Klaus Schwab always says.
Please see my post upthread about the short book titled ” The Great Taking”.
Well researched and footnoted and explains how recent laws were changed to allow for “secured creditors” to take all collateral in the next collapse ( the Great Reset…you will own nothing).
Please everyone go to https://thegreattaking.com/ to see how they have tricked us into thinking we own stocks and bonds, bank accounts and 401ks and IRAs, but we DON’T! They secretly changed the rules they play by!

The people controlling this system are quite obviously not benevolent. They are not noble. They are not elite. They are insane! They are the antithesis of everything we could value, admire, and love.
“This is ultimate treason against the legitimate citizens!”
Someone gets it!
And the most we—the law-abiding CITIZENS—do to counter these criminals is to post complaints to the choir (e.g., gatesofvienna) and ask our representatives to make appearances on friendly TV/podcasts declaring the moves of these ‘toddlers to be “shameful!!”; and making vacuous threats, which the ‘toddlers KNOW are just that—vacuous.
Meanwhile, with each stretching of the boundaries—of both moral and legal—the ‘toddlers grow more powerful and widespread in their [global] reach. I fear this will end in either complete subjugation [of the law-abiding] or bloody revolution.
“They are insane!”
Here, I disagree. These sophisticates are NOT crazy, they’re literally INFANTILE—viewing the world around them through the eyes of the average two year-old girl with plump Pampers. Trouble is that these ‘toddlers’re stuck in a perpetual tantrum, in positions of power and heavily armed. More nightmarish, they’re also Bolsheviks (with a handful of Mensheviks thrown in for good measure), which is why they’ve been ascribed the moniker of “commie-toddlers”….or ‘toddlers for brevity.
I believe these [‘toddler] “experts” have taken Lennon’s “Imagine” quite seriously (Lennon, in his own words, described the song lyrics as “stream of consciousness”—just putting words to music that sounded good, a la Dylan) and intend to implement it….literally.
Infantilism + Bolshevism + “Imagine” + political POWER = Oy veh.
As predictable as a WELL-REGULATED Rolex.
For YEARS, ‘toddler-run cities like NYC have PROUDLY PROCLAIMED THEMSELVES “SANCTUARIES” for ILLEGALS as ILLEGALS OVERWHELMED mostly southern red states. Now that these “sanctuaries” are BEGINNING to experience just a FRACTION of what they unleashed on “flyover country”, they DEMAND the government to “DO SOMETHING!!!!!!”.
