  • Some 500 undocumented immigrants occupied Charles de Gaulle's Terminal 2
  • They called on Air France to stop playing any part in the deportation of migrants
  • The group also asked to meet with the French Prime Minister over asylum policy 
  • The protest was organised by the migrant support group La Chapelle Debout

Hundreds of undocumented migrants occupied a terminal at Charles De Gaulle airport in Paris yesterday to protest against Air   France   carrying out deportations and demanding they be given permanent residency. 

Footage uploaded to Twitter shows some 500 members of the migrant support group La Chapelle Debout gathered in Terminal 2 of France's largest airport.  

The protesters called on Air France to 'stop any financial, logistical or political participation in deportations' and demanded a meeting with its leaders, as well as French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe.  

In the footage, one demonstrator can be heard saying into a megaphone: 'France does not belong to the French! Everyone has a right to be here!'

Members of the organisation, which describes itself as the biggest union of undocumented immigrants in France, also call themselves GiletsNoirs - or black vests.

The protesters, who are reportedly from Africa, were heard calling for the Prime Minister to give all of them permanent legal status and the necessary papers to remain in France.

'It is not by chance that we find ourselves in this place,' the group said, amid reports it chose the airport because of its proximity to the town of Le Mesnil-Amelot, the site of an administrative detention centre for migrants. 

An Air France delegation met with the group on Sunday, local newspaper Le Parisien reported.   

But one migrant told the paper that the protests would continue until the demands were met. 

'We have targeted Air France, and other actions will follow,' he said.

I don't know how you say "Go F- yourself" in French, but that seems worthy of it.

I'm pretty sure the Prime Minister of France doesn't owe you merde. (See, I know a little French.)

According to Google Translate:  Va te faire foutre.

"Hundreds of migrants occupy France's Charles de Gaulle airport, demand to meet the Prime Minister and call for an end to deportations"

Were they "Legal" Migrants ?

The Media sure does have a hard time printing the word ….. "Illegal" . Do they have an "Agenda" ? jrSmiley_87_smiley_image.gif

The cutesy, nice, nice word "Undocumented", doesn't count dontchyaknow ! jrSmiley_99_smiley_image.jpg

From the seed:

The protesters, who are reportedly from Africa ,

Further:

Hundreds of illegal migrants from Africa stormed Paris’s main airport and occupied an entire terminal on Sunday, demanding to meet with the country’s prime minister.

And:

Footage of the protest shared on Twitter shows an estimated 400 members of the migrant support group La Chapelle Debout gathered in Terminal 2 of Charles de Gaulle Airport and surrounded by police in tactical gear.  Protesters, the majority of whom were said to be of African descen t and refer to themselves as "Black Vests," called for Prime Minister Edouard Philippe to give them permanent legal status and appropriate paperwork to remain in France.

In other words they are from France's former colonies.

That's difficult to discern from any of the articles I've read. All that's been reported is that the protesting "black vest" illegals are "from Africa".

Depending on the time period, the continent of Africa was colonized by ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, Muslim Arabs, Asian countries, England, France, Belgium, Germany, Portugal, Italy, Spain.

The French Protectorates of Tunisia and Morocco didn't gain independence until the mid 50's. All that anyone can hope for is that France can regain control of their sovereignty and that their once great culture can survive.

It seems that France, as well as other formerly sovereign nations, are feeling the effects of open border policies.

It seems to be commonplace for human beings to invent their own truth.

Some do, but many don't.

It is really sad. French pundit Eric Zemmour coined a familiar description of the immigration which now presents a challenge for modern France. He called it an "invasion"

One name that has reappeared throughout my research into the "black vests", aka La Chapelle Debout,  is Houssam El Assimi. This is an older article, but anyone who is interested can start with this one if they wish:

There are many more articles, but most of them are in French.

 The lesson is there and other places, the results are bad; but some in America think this is the way to go
