French Parliament Passes Controversial Immigration Bill Amidst Political Turmoil

The French parliament has approved a divisive immigration bill aimed at strengthening the country's ability to deport foreigners deemed undesirable. The bill, which received support from the far-right, passed the National Assembly with a 349-186 vote. The compromise text includes provisions to reduce the number of migrants entering France and limit their access to social benefits. Critics argue that the bill threatens the rights of migrants, while supporters claim it addresses security concerns. The legislation still needs to be officially enacted into law.
