Japa: France bans Nigerian students, others from bringing their families
The French parliament has passed legislation prohibiting Nigerian students and others from bringing their families to France.
According to a report by the BBC on Thursday, the measure was supported by both President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist Renaissance party and Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally.
Last week, parliament rejected a prior proposal after the National Rally, and the left voted against it. As a result, the government redrafted the measure, making some of its provisions more stringent.
The new, stricter immigration policy makes it more difficult for migrants to bring family members to France and delays their eligibility for social benefits.
It also prohibits the incarceration of juveniles in detention centers, and leaders of one-third of French regions have stated that they will not comply with some provisions of the law.
