"My proposal is more effective than that of
Michel Barnier
"
, pointed out Valérie Pécresse from the outset, denouncing the ineffectiveness of the "moratorium" on immigration proposed by her competitor to, he says,
"put a stop to immediate to uncontrolled immigration ”
.
"The moratorium is not zero immigration!"
, she reacted.
"I no longer want it to be France which adapts to the needs of immigration, but immigration which adapts to the needs of France,"
continued Xavier Bertrand.
"The problem is much more serious than what Michel (Barnier) says"
, supported Eric Ciotti, criticizing the figures put forward by the former minister on immigration.
“I have something more than my friends, I spent five years dealing with Brexit,”
rebounded Michel Barnier.
"I understood a number of things to say that we must change what does not work",
he explained
,
while adding that
"Eric said it very well, in some French cities, we have the feeling of no longer living in France ”

Installed standing behind desks in a setting reminiscent of a game show, Michel Barnier, Xavier Bertrand, Éric Ciotti, Philippe Juvin and Valérie Pécresse all agreed to denounce

"Immigration and terrorism"
On this question, Eric Ciotti, very present throughout the debate and who is in favor of a
"safe whatever the cost"
, went further than his friends.
"We must not welcome migrants,"
he said,
"not to open a breach". "We know that in the flows of 2015 were inserted the terrorists of the Bataclan",
he blurted out, echoing the remarks made 24 hours earlier by Eric Zemmour and which had triggered the controversy.
"Why this Moscow trial because he went to meditate at the scene of an attack?"
, replied Éric Ciotti judging that there could be a part of political responsibility of the power of the time without naming François Holland nevertheless.
"There are many Islamists who have passed through these migratory routes
,
"
said Valérie Pécresse.

, protested Michel Barnier even though he indicated that
"everyone knows that there is a link between immigration and terrorism"
.
"On this anniversary day, we expected dignity and respect, two concepts that do not reside in Mr. Zemmour"
, developed Xavier Bertrand, rather withdrawn during the discussions.
"Immigration is the first concern of our fellow citizens,"
resumed Eric Ciotti, wishing for the total abolition of land rights on French soil.
"You have to become French by descent or a long course of naturalization of at least 10 years"
, he detailed, wishing to stop
"the automatic nature of family reunification (...) I hope that tomorrow France remain France! ” "I do not agree with Eric Ciotti"
, slipped Valérie Pécresse even if the candidate is opposed to the automaticity of the right of the soil "
including in metropolitan France"
.
"Uncontrolled immigration and failed integration can disrupt a nation",
she stated.
Michel Barnier proposed to him, Friday, to remove the right to land in Mayotte to
"mark a halt"
to immigration
"that no one controls"
on the island of the Indian Ocean.
The Schengen area is
"out of breath"
, judged Philippe Juvin, in favor of a Schengen 2, a proposal that Nicolas Sarkozy had already put into the debate.
“On immigration, we must be very firm,”
repeated Philippe Juvin,
“we must limit (it).
But the idea of zero immigration does not exist ”
, he maintained, insisting on the necessary development policy to be carried out in Africa.
