Migration
France is currently ranked as the second country in Europe for the size of its migrant population. About 6% of its population, more than 3 million people, are foreigners.
Although traditional ties have led to migration from former colonies in the Maghreb, sub-saharan Africa, more recently migration has also been from countries without such historical ties (for instance, India or Pakistan).
In the 1980s and 1990s the immigration flow has been met by reactions of increasing hostility and reluctance. The terms of the political and policy debate have been shifted mainly on issues relating to security, border controls and integration of existing migrants, for whom the arrival of new migrants is considered an obstacle. This policy responds to popular fears not just of demographic "invasion" but also of cultural loss, or challenge, especially from strong immigrants� identities, such as Islam, and by fears that immigration would lead or contribute to the collapse of the welfare state.
