[HIGHLIGHTS] “In the United States as in France, are pro-immigration ideas more a matter of electoral cynicism than a conviction?”

In France, as in the United States, politicians send busloads of migrants, notes columnist Eliott Mamane. But the logic is the opposite, he explains.

Mamane: In the U.S., when Republican governors transfer migrants from their state to higher-targeted areas, they are not taking the risk of losing potential voters. In France, the government recognizes the existence of a plan aimed at equally distributing migrants and other asylum seekers throughout the territory, so as not to see them concentrated in Île-de-France.
