French far right leader Marine Le Pen accuses Germany of opening doors to refugees for cheap labour

Marine Le Pen, the leader of France's right-wing National Front party, has accused Germany of opening its doors to refugees to exploit them for cheap labour.

In a meeting in the southeastern city of Marseille, a key French destination for migrants from north Africa, she also accused Germany of trying to impose its immigration policy on the EU. "Germany probably thinks its population is moribund, and it is probably seeking to lower wages and continue to recruit slaves through mass immigration," she said.

Le Pen also criticised European politicians for "exploiting the suffering of these poor people who cross the Mediterranean Sea. They are exploiting the death of the unfortunate in these trips organised by mafia, they show pictures, they exhibit the death of a child without any dignity just to blame the European consciences and make them accept the current situation," she said.

According to RT News, Le Pen said Germany's policy will affect the whole of the EU. "Germany seeks not only to rule our economy, it wants to force us to accept hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers." Germany is opening its doors to around 800,000 migrants this year. "France however did not have the means nor the desire to open its doors to "the world's misery," said Le Pen.

The far-right's motto is "Keep the 'world's misery' as far from us as possible". They are not interested in alleviating the 'world's misery' or helping its victims in any way - just keep it away from me. Perhaps Le Pen needs to get in touch with Trump. A good wall would help France out immensely I am sure.

Today must be the day she refers to refugees as "job/wage stealers" if they become employed. Tomorrow will be "welfare moochers" day if the refugees don't get jobs. At no point does she ever consider the possibility that most of them are good people fleeing a horrible situation, but then she's a conservative for a reason.

1. Well, to be honest, I doubt very much that Merkel is doing this out of the good of her heart.

I do think there is an economic motive behind it.

3. I doubt it, too, I think she's accepting them now

to reduce international pressure, already extreme over what they've done to Greece.

Accepting them now means the ability to choose the best and to be able to say "we're full up" later on.

However, I think the motive is geopolitical, not economic.

Whatever her motivation, someone has to start helping these people. She's started doing just that and I hope it shames some of the other countries into helping.

4. I give her and the German people a lot of credit for being the one country that has really stepped

up. I think we can be sure that a Le Pen-led French government would not be helping the refugees one bit.

I seriously doubt that taking in thousands of destitute men, women and children is the best way supply workers for an economy. And the German people, other than a violent fringe on the far-right, are very open to taking in these refugees. It is not a government acting against the wishes of its people.

2. Foolish French person dont you know that

Germany has a plan.

Hollande opens French doors to refugees despite opposition

France is ready to take in 24,000 refugees as part of European Union plans to welcome more than 100,000 in the next two years, French President Francois Hollande said on Monday.

The numbers of refugees crossing the Mediterranean and Aegean seas and the Balkans in search of sanctuary in Europe has sparked fierce debate in France, with far-right, National Front leader Marine Le Pen leading opposition to opening the borders.

Ex-president Nicolas Sarkozy, leader of the conservative opposition Republican party, called at the weekend for detention camps to be set up in neighboring countries under EU control to filter refugees before they crossed the Mediterranean. He also repeated past calls for an end to the EU's Schengen zone of open border travel.

However, thousands of people demonstrated in cities around France on Saturday carrying banners such as "refugees welcome". More than a dozen towns, mostly with left-wing mayors, have offered to take in Syrians.

Even in France, while the left steps up, the right steps back.
