"It is the responsibility of the head of the state not to desacralize public life. It is unacceptable, for example that July 14th [Bastille Day] should be dissolved into a euroglobalist demonstration, causing it to lose significance: the celebration of the unity of the Nation (la Patrie) in the glory of our armies. Through symbols, our country’s political authorities must assure the continuity of France and watch over her sovereignty. The one cannot live without the other. Allowing our demography to collapse and substituting an immigration of repopulation, letting criminality explode or “demonizing” our origins, this is letting France dissolve in the globalist melting pot."-- Le Pen

" [The candidate for naturalization] must assimilate to assimilate: since he is not French by blood, he must become so, with all his spirit and without truning back,in mores, language and the education he gives his children."

"The nation must truly make a place for immigrants"-- Malek Boutih, President of "SOS Racisme"

""Generosity is not opening wide the borders without thought for how people will integrate, how they will live, how they will subsist."

THE FRENCH NATION

The history of France is resplendent with dynamism, for it is the birthplace of the Enlightenment ideals of ‘liberty, equality and fraternity’ which now form the basis of human rights. Today France stands firm on its Republican ideals as a ‘secular, indivisible and a democratic’ nation. However immigration, integration of ethnic minorities and racism are major concerns in French politics today, undermining not only the Enlightenment ideals but also the unified conception of the French nation. A 1990 opinion poll found that immigration was the second most important domestic concern after social and economic inequality. There is considerable debate as to whether they will merge with the French nation or threaten its integrity.
