TL;DR Summary

France's parliament has passed a controversial immigration bill that introduces stricter controls on migration. The legislation, which faced opposition from left-wing ministers, was supported by President Emmanuel Macron's centrist coalition and conservative lawmakers, as well as the far-right National Rally led by Marine Le Pen. The bill includes measures such as tougher residency permit rules, delayed access to welfare benefits, migration quotas, and easier expulsion of illegal migrants. The passing of the bill could benefit Macron in the upcoming parliamentary elections, but also strengthens Le Pen's position. The law will now be reviewed by the Constitutional Council for potential amendments.
