Commonly used publicly and politically, especially by the extreme right, without support in official data, it is confirmed year after year by polls published in the media. The result: More and more French people think that there are more foreigners in their country than it should be, and that the government does not have a deterrent policy. \u00ab \"The public debate on immigration in France is completely inconsistent with the truth on the ground\", - declared Fran\u00e7ois H\u00e9ran in a column published on November 8, 2022 in the newspaper Le Monde which commented: Professor at the Chair of the College of France for Migration and Societies, H\u00e9ran reminds us, with supporting figures, how limited immigration is, much smaller than the place it occupies in the public space\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" translation-block\">But let's see more specifically how immigrants are welcomed in France, i.e. how many first residence permits<sup>1<\/sup> are given to them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" translation-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/static.data.gouv.fr\/resources\/les-titres-de-sejour-publication-du-20-juin-2022\/20221018-121745\/la-delivrance-des-premiers-titres-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">According to the Ministry of the Interior, France issued 270,925 first <\/a>(temporary) residence permits in 2021**. Seen on block, without analyzing it, the figure looks quite big. If we enter one by one the categories, the situation changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"975\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/pro-ide.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1518\" srcset=\"http:\/\/pro-ide.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image.png 975w, http:\/\/pro-ide.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-300x185.png 300w, http:\/\/pro-ide.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-768x473.png 768w, http:\/\/pro-ide.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-18x12.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 975px) 100vw, 975px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>First, because most of these permits, according to the French Ministry of the Interior, are \u201cStudent\u201d visas (the largest group with 87,694 permits) and \"Family life\u201d permits - French family, family member, family relationship - second largest group with 85,844 permits). Taken together, these two groups give a figure of 173,538 (\u201cStudent\u201d visas and \"Family life\" residence permit). So, put in numbers, by the French Ministry of the Interior itself, 64% of residence permits for foreigners are given to students who come to study in France (proven as a benefit for the country) and to those who marry French or have family ties with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All other categories, i.e. \"Humanitarian\", \"Economic\" and \"Divers\" round off the figure of 97,387 residence permits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among them, the most talked about category, the \"Humanitarian\" one, which includes all permits for refugees, stateless persons, victims of apartheid, asylum seekers, sick foreigners, victims of human trafficking and victims of intimate partner violence, results in fewer than 40 000 residence permits in France! More precisely, 39,660. We are talking about one of the richest and developed countries in the world, so this figure should be placed well under this perspective. Currently, according to the latest report of the IOM (World Organization for Migration), there are a record number of people displaced from their countries of birth due to wars, bloody conflicts, and natural disasters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is worth stopping a little at the \"Economic\" category to better understand how much France is frugal even in delivering permits to foreigners who want to work in this country. This permit is granted to scientists, artists, full-time employees, seasonal workers and the self-employed. For all of these, France granted, temporarily last year, only 36,095 permits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last category, \"Divers\" includes all visas granted to visitors to France, foreign minors, ex-soldiers who have fought for France, etc. For them, last year, the state gave 21,632 residence permits, according to the same minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, if you think that in previous years the numbers were higher, just look at the chart above, part of the official document of the French Ministry of the Interior. There it seems clear that 2021 was, so far, the most generous year...<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>1<\/sup> First residence permits are those that are given to foreigners after their first request to stay in France.
