France's Marine Le Pen Pledges To Suspend All Immigration To France, Protect Country From 'Savage Globalization'

BY ISABELLE GERRETSEN ON 4/18/17 AT 9:40 AM

Far right French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen has vowed to suspend all immigration to France to protect voters from what she has dubbed “savage globalization.”

Le Pen, who is expected to make it through to a second round showdown with centrist Emmanuel Macron on 7 May, told a rally Monday that she would impose a moratorium on “all legal immigration” in France.

"I will protect you. My first measure as president will be to reinstate France's borders," the National Front (FN) leader told the rally of around 500 people in Paris on Monday night, six days before the first round of the election on April 23.

"The choice on Sunday is simple. It is a choice between a France that is rising again and a France that is sinking,” she said. Le Pen urged her supporters to “fight for victory, every last minute!”

1. After what France has been thru the few years...

that might be an appealing message.

It's historically been a consistently appealing message for the benefit of the lowest common denominators. Certainly not specific to France in the here and now.

2. If France goes, it could be all over the human race, for real.

3. Savage globalization? Like what France did in Algeria?

12. Or French Polynesia. The list goes on and on. nt

4. "Savage globalization". How much trade does France have with other countries?

John Oliver gave an impassioned plea for not electing this dolt. Basically, don't follow in our footsteps, France. Please.

10. That sounds like it comes straight from Putin / Trump / Infowars / Alt Right bullshit.

Are we going to live in a world where everyone is isolated? Is that where this is headed?

[randome]

14. I don't think that's possible, despite what some opportunistic politicians say.

This is a short-term step backward, I think. There are always going to be people and corporations finding new ways to connect, to sell their goods, expand services, etc.

It's a genie that can't be put back into its bottle.

5. Good, let HER try to seal THOSE borders!

[defacto7]

6. The first red flag exposing an authoritarian

are the generous use of personal pronouns.

"I will protect..." My first measure..." Next she will be saying, "My military".

8. Are they going to build a wall too?

Make France Great Again?

Everyone can wear read hats, punch people at rallies.

Conservatives have been undercounted in polls lately. She could win. After Brexit and Trump, it appears many of them have been keeping it close to the vest in favor of surprise upsets.

9. Yeah, that Maginot Line worked out so well, didn't it?

[SunSeeker]

11. Following the Trump playbook. nt

13. "Savage globalization" after trying various phrases out on

test groups, no doubt. That's how conservative counterparts in the US decided on "climate change" to put a charming spin the dread reality of global warming.

Btw, "climate change" has now, inevitably, become associated with dread reality anyway, so right-wing manipulators are now trying to suppress use of that term. Worn out its usefulness.
