Immigration: "France is the second most OECD closed" [Interview]

Why is your report on immigration to Terra Nova has it yet been published?
El Mouhoub Mouhoud: It's not really my problem now, but I think this decision is not due to lack of interest of the socialist party for the issue of immigration, but the fact that he walks on eggs. There are now so strong alignment on the ideas of the National Front in the presidential campaign that the PS is cantilevered to provide a real immigration policy. The PS has taken a position to be announcing the right of foreigners to vote in local elections, but it does not comment on immigration. Today, in this campaign, there is no reflection on the policy because the debate has become irrational.
What elements of rationality that you bring into the debate, this report and your contribution to "The presidential debates in 25"?
Is heard everywhere in this country, that France no longer has the means to welcome new immigrants, but in proportion to population, migration flows received by France are among the lowest of all OECD countries . France ranks second to last, only Japan is closed it to immigration. Migration flows into OECD to average 0.7% of the population already living in the country, against 0.23% for France. This is a complete myth to believe that France is still a great country of immigration.
Beyond the gap between the debate and the reality of migration policy as practiced since the 1970s is satisfactory?
Immigration policy is ineffective precisely because it is restrictive. Political action has no influence on these streams because they are too low, there is no driving, no room for maneuver. Population flows entering France are almost exclusively governed by international treaties that govern the family reunification or asylum. This is not because there is unemployment in France there are no areas or areas with shortages of labor. The entry of immigrants to meet those needs is an effective, short-term.
Your vision of migration policy points "chosen immigration" the beginning of the mandate of Nicolas Sarkozy. Are you for a selective policy?
The selective policy is in its infancy, currently the only interesting part of it was removed in August 2011 its regionalization. Map of talents and skills was she, too restrictive compared to other countries like Canada that offers citizenship some years later. It is reassuring rather than précarisant immigrants to be given the opportunity to show enterprising, set up projects, to take risks.
In parallel to its selective migration policy, the government also sent negative signals having a very hard on illegal immigration. Potentially qualified migrants prefer areas of the world alternatives that are generally more attractive
