text: immigration law in france and its impact on migrants? what are the intensions behind passing this law? i am not familiar with the immigration law you are referring to, but i do know that it is a manuever of the business elite in developed countries around the world to hire immigrants, legal or illegal, because they can pay them lower wages and thereby increase their profits.  that's why the united states has an immigration problem.  businesses want them here, and the government looks out for the interests of the business elite above all else.  as an american of french origin, i can tell you that i resent the french business elite being allowed to exploit the cheap labor of immigrants.  i see it as an attack on the french people's standard of living  as well as an attack on french culture itself, since these immigrants, mostlly from arab countries, are so different culturally .
