Founded in 2015 in the Calais Jungle (French immigrant encampment), the association Utopia 56 helps undocumented migrants while striving to impose its migration policy (the unconditional reception and massive regularization of all refugees). Over the years, the organization gradually grew throughout France.
"And while associations like Utopia 56 help companies plunder vital global forces to lower labor costs in Western societies, governments compel the indigenous proletariat to pay with their taxes the coming of this unfair competition from the Third World." This pretty much sums up the US for some time.
Your reference that would-be migrants are taught in their homeland that they are owed money because of colonization clarified what has been going on sometime in the US. This is the mantra of many coming from Mexico and Latin America. Even if their surname is 'Reyes' they don't seem to make the connection that it signifies a colonizing forbearer. An Israeli friend, ironically, would skewer California as being stolen land from Mexico not referencing that California was under Spanish control with vast land grants.
How much influence do you think Sartre had on this rhetoric?
France as we knew it in the 20th Century is over... gone forever. It should be a lesson for all.
I remember growing up in the 80's.
Still was a lovely country.
Today I pray everyday for my parents to be safe.
Thanks for covering this. Jean Raspail's "Camp of the Saints" became real life. Also recommend watching Netflix's Athena: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/how-to-speak-french-part-2

They should work to better their own countries, not invade others to look for handouts.
