French Parliament members have reached an agreement on a divisive immigration bill aimed at strengthening France's ability to deport undesirable foreigners. The bill, championed by interior minister Gerald Darmanin, will protect the French while also allowing 7,000 to 10,000 undocumented migrant workers per year to obtain residency permits and fill job vacancies in challenging sectors. The compromise text includes provisions to reduce the number of migrants entering France and restrict their access to social benefits. The bill requires approval from both houses of parliament and has faced criticism from advocacy organizations for its potential threat to migrants' rights.from World News Headlines, Latest International News, World Breaking News - Times of India https://ift.tt/XJcv5sq
