Paris : A member of a French commission on social and economic reform said Wednesday in Paris that President Nicolas Sarkozy’s proposed policy of using quotas for immigrants is “racist.”
“If we will have quotas for specific nationalities and specific professions, it will lead to a racist policy,” Herve Le Bras told journalists during the presentation of the commission’s 316 proposals to modernize France’s society and economy.
Sarkozy has said that he wants to implement an immigration policy based on quotas from specific countries.
“France’s restrictive immigration policy prevents enterprises in important sectors from finding enough workers,” the commission’s report declared.
