“Control immigration” and “Improve integration”. It is under this title in the form of a promise that the government was to present on Wednesday 1 er February, in the Council of Ministers, the last version of its bill on immigration, the second under the Presidency of Emmanuel Macron, after the law called Collomb of 2018.
The text made up of twenty-seven articles, which MO12345lemonde was able to consult, and whose executive boasts the balance, intends to facilitate the regularizations of undocumented workers while strengthening the possibilities of expulsion, in particular foreigners delinquents. The bill also addresses the simplification of foreigners litigation or the acceleration of the investigation of the asylum application. It also plans to condition the obtaining of a multi -year residence permit to control a minimum level of French (to be determined by decree), to make possible the taking of coercive fingerprints, to harden the condition of residence for The renewal of long-term titles or even prohibit the administrative retention of minors under the age of 16.

What leave the uncertainty over the parliamentary majority that will be able to release Renaissance. In an interview with the Parisian, Saturday January 28, the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, once again held the hand to the Republicans by saying that he is ready to discuss “quotas to limit regularization” during the examination of the text , which must start in mid-March in the Senate.

In a context of strong increase in work immigration (+ 45 % in 2022), driven by the needs of the economy, the government proposes to facilitate the regularization of undocumented workers already present in the territory. Their fate is today subject to the discretionary power of the prefectures, which apply variously the criteria set out in the 2012 ministerial circular, called “Valls circular”. To claim a residence permit, a worker must for example present the evidence of a minimum of three years of presence in France, at least twenty-four pay sheets and a promise of hiring of his employer.
