French Interior Minister Proposes Overhaul of Immigration Laws

Bruno Retailleau aims to align France's immigration policies with European standards, focusing on stricter measures against illegal immigration.

Bruno Retailleau, France's Interior Minister, plans to transform the State Medical Aid into an emergency medical aid to discourage illegal immigration.
The proposed law seeks to abolish the automatic right to citizenship by birth and reinstate the offense of illegal residency.
Retailleau suggests extending detention periods for dangerous undocumented immigrants from 90 to 210 days.
A 'missi dominici' will be appointed to negotiate repatriation agreements with countries like Iraq, Kazakhstan, and Egypt.
The government is considering two legislative approaches to implement these changes, incorporating elements of the European migration and asylum pact.
