The French parliament has passed a controversial new immigration law that aims to control the flow of migrants and improve their integration into the country.
The Senate approved the bill by a vote of 214-114, with 12 abstentions. The National Assembly, the lower house of parliament, approved the bill by a vote of 349-186.
The bill, which was proposed by Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin, has been met with criticism from some immigration advocates who say it would restrict the rights of foreigners in France.
The bill includes a number of measures aimed at making it more difficult for migrants to enter France illegally, including increased border controls and stricter penalties for people who smuggle migrants into the country.
The bill also includes measures aimed at making it easier for migrants to integrate into French society, such as language classes and job training.
One of the most controversial aspects of the bill is a provision that would eliminate the government’s medical assistance program for undocumented migrants.
The Senate originally voted to eliminate the program altogether, but the National Assembly restored it with some restrictions.
The program provides free medical care to undocumented migrants, including emergency care, pregnancy and childbirth care, and care for children.
The bill also includes a provision that would allow local authorities to grant residency permits to some undocumented migrants who are working in sectors with labor shortages.
The bill is the second immigration bill passed by the French parliament during the presidency of Emmanuel Macron.
Macron has said that the bill is necessary to protect the rights of French workers and to ensure that migrants integrate into French society.
