French far-right leader Marine Le Pen proposed Thursday that the children of illegal immigrants should be refused school places as part of tough proposals to restrict public services.

"I've got nothing against foreigners but I say to them: if you come to our country, don't expect that you will be taken care of, treated (by the health system) and that your children will be educated for free. That's finished now, it's the end of playtime," Le Pen said at a conference in Paris.

The leader of the National Front (FN) is forecast by opinion polls to finish second in next year's presidential election but she is hoping for new momentum after the victory of Donald Trump in the United States.

This is cutting off one's nose to spite the face.   Muslim communities will react by educating their own - and the result will be radicalization and no hope of assimilation.   

France is notorious even among European nations in consigning Muslims to ghettos.   That's in contrast to the U.S., where Muslims typically do not self-segregate and there's every reason to expect that, like so many immigrants before them, they'll eventually assimilate into the fabric of American life.

No Free Education seem to be Le Pen's exact words.

And this is likely dealing with the current crisis of those coming from Syria and the like.

The Arab zones in Marseilles have been there for a very long time, those are Tunisians and Moroccans and so on, those from their former colonies. Just like France has many Vietnamese because that used to be their colony.
