Why add to the number of rapes?
France doesn’t report race/ethnicity statistics with crime statistics, but there is some proof that French women experience more harassment from migrants than actual French men. Even is this number is not that high, this article shows that some French officials are willing to overlook this harassment for fear of stoking resentment against non-Whites, which is a huge problem in itself.
France has not ethnic statistics, but it has statistics by nationality.
La Chapelle is a very narrow part of Paris. And the issue is about harassment, not rape. In this place there are many homeless illegal migrants and trafics.
I will be honest . What is globally true for France is not true in some districts of some cities.
But one cannot condemn all the migrants because some illegal ones don’t behave. Hence the driving license exemple.
So make the hate legal?
Well, I said that Canada’s immigration policy might be better. But I was just sharing some of their filtering mechanisms regarding immigrants. I also said that our immigration policies have needed corrections for may years as congress failed to take action.
And yes, you’re right that it was too much too soon. Trudeau admits that. Immigration is a dynamic process. Many factors weigh in to immigration policy - employment numbers, war, epidemics, economics, and more.
Once an immigration policy goes awry and housing can’t keep up or unemployment goes up, people get upset over immigration, and rightfully so. That’s why immigration is dynamic. The “valve” needs to open and close according to many factors.
Hate crimes are a separate issue. Racists commit hate crimes. Your suggestion that hate crimes could be prevented by reducing immigration is ignorant of the fact that racists want no immigration. But immigration is often necessary to help a country’s economy and job market.
I would say that hate crimes are not rational.
Even if there are no more migrants, there are people to hate.
And if an object of hate disappear, another one comes in the sick mind of haters.
They are mentally built to hate everyone who is not like them.
In France, the ultra right does not get some of its best voting results in the districts where there are many migrants, but in the villages where there are no migrants,.
Beside the haters, there are the ones who are afraid !!!
Hate crimes are not rational. Hatred itself can be rational or irrational like any emotion.
Reducing immigration to zero is always an option. Any way we look at it, less hate crime targets mean less motivation for hate crimes.
What do you mean? Hatred isn’t legal or illegal. Hate crimes are already illegal.
Reducing option to 0 is not an option.
IN UK, Brexiters told the voters that to leave EC would allow UK too to control illegal immigration.
UK is an archipelago. No terrestrial borders. 13 377 illegal immigration attempts were detected in 2018, 52 1126 in 2022. People are ready to risk their lives and the lives of their families to immigrate.
Haters leaders need scapegoats to come to power. If they don’t have migrants as scapegoats and hate objects, they will find others ones. Targets don’t lack.
In most European countries, expression of hate is illegal.
Reducing immigration to zero is a statement that certain people are not worthy of entrance to your country. That’s not rational statement. So making it law in order to reduce people being mad about those “others” is irrational solution to an irrational problem.
This is why you and me are never going to be on the same side.
It’s definitely an option. The only problem is a lack of will among the nation’s leaders.
Thankfully, I live in America.
I’m not sure anyone is on your side. North Korea maybe. I looked in 2016, and modern countries have restrictions, but they all have a path to citizenship. That’s because they all need something, from laborers to scientists. It’s just how the world works now.
Anti-immigration feeling is increasing everywhere in the developed world. Plenty are on my side.
Fact show that it does not work.
And we need migrants…
If you defame and insult and call to the death of a man named X, even in USA, you will be condemned.
And you may legally defame, insult, and call to the death of all X ? That’s madness for us Europeans.
Politicians have told for more than 50 years that the migrants are the main issue and that if you throw out all the issues will be solved. They lie, but people like easy solutions.
And while people concentrate on migrants, some profit from them.
THE RACIST POLITICIAN - Give me your pulse. Come on, let’s get it beating properly. Ah! I’ll make sure you’re feeling as you should. Yeah! That pulse is acting impertinent; I can see you don’t know me yet. Who is your doctor?
FRANCE - Mr. Macron.
THE RACIST POLITICIAN - That man is not listed among the great doctors. What does he say you’re sick of?
FRANCE - He says it’s social spending, and others say it’s capitalism.
THE RACIST POLITICIAN - They’re all ignorant. It’s immigrants you’re sick of.
FRANCE - Immigrants?
THE RACIST POLITICIAN - Yes. What do you feel?
FRANCE - I’m very scared, I’m scared all the time, and I’m angry.
THE RACIST POLITICIAN - Exactly, immigrants.
FRANCE – Inflation is eating away at my purchasing power. Public finances are in a disastrous state.
THE RACIST POLITICIAN – Immigrants.
FRANCE – Crime and violence are increasing. The war in Ukraine scares me.
THE RACIST POLITICIAN – Immigrants.
FRANCE – Poverty and inequality are exploding.
THE RACIST POLITICIAN – Immigrants.
FRANCE – And sometimes, I worry about the state of the healthcare system.
THE RACIST POLITICIAN – Immigrants. Are you worried about your environment?
FRANCE – Yes, ma’am.
THE RACIST POLITICIAN – Immigrants. Are you afraid of unemployment?
FRANCE – Yes, ma’am.
THE RACIST POLITICIAN – Immigrants. Are you afraid for your children, for their future?
FRANCE – Yes, ma’am.
THE RACIST POLITICIAN – Immigrants, immigrants, I tell you.
And Musk and Trump, hiding under the table, smiled.

So, let’s have less family, less people we know and that will solve the problem. I’m sorry, morgankane01 is right. The majority of rape and incest happen by people we know, not so much strangers. It’s not so much immigrants who rape woman and girls, it’s fathers, uncles, brothers, priests, boyfriends, husbands, significant others, and in rare instances, but it does happen, mothers, sisters, aunts, partners/wives. Rarely is it the Joe Smoe walking past you on the street.
Yeah and some people are investing an awful lot of money into creating that increasing resentment:

Why am I suddenly thinking of Calhoun’s rat experiments?
Immigration has nothing to do with Ukraine.
