44 Per Cent of French Population Growth Was Driven by Migration in 2017
Mass migration accounted for 44 per cent of France’s population growth in 2017, according to the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE).
The INSEE report published on Wednesday notes that the French population grew by 317,000 people between 2017 and 2018, and of those, 139,000 (44 per cent) were immigrants.
This brought the total migrant population as of January 2018 in France to approximately 6.6 million out of a population of 67 million people, according to the last population census.
Since 2006, the proportion of non-migrants adding to the country’s overall population saw a downward trend as population growth driven by mass migration saw an increasing trend, according to the French national statistics bureau.
In 2015 and 2016, immigrants made up the majority of the population growth, compared to in 2006, when immigrants made up less than a third of the growth.

“Since 2006, the annual contribution of immigrants to population growth has been increasing. This is due in part to lower growth in the non-immigrant population,” the report states.
While France has one of the highest birth rates in the European Union, it has seen a steady decline in recent years, with 2020 seeing one of the lowest birth rates the country has seen since the end of the Second World War.
The issue has become so prominent, that at least two parties say they are looking to make it a major topic of discussion ahead of next year’s French presidential elections.
From 2006 to 2019, France has also seen an increase in migrants from non-European countries, with African migrants increasing from 62,000 in 2006 to 112,000 in 2019. European migration to France has largely declined since 2006.

Other European countries have seen higher rates of population growth driven by migration in recent years, such as neighbouring Belgium, where nearly 90 per cent of population growth was due to mass migration in 2019.
In the UK, a study released in 2018 claimed that mass migration accounted for 82 per cent of the population growth in the 15 years between 2001 and 2016.
Sweden, which took in the highest number of migrants per capita in Europe during the height of the 2015 migrant crisis, had the second-highest population growth in the EU in 2016, driven by mass migration.
Two Rochdale Child Grooming Gang Rapists Launch Another Appeal to Avoid Deportation to Pakistan: Report
Two Pakistani heritage grooming gang rapists have launched another appeal against their removal from Britain, six years after they were supposed to be kicked out of the country, according to reports.
Adil Khan and Qari Abdul Rauf were both convicted in 2012 on a slew of charges related to the sexual abuse of children as young as 12, yet were released early and set loose onto the very same streets they once roamed, even running into their victims.
In 2015, then-home secretary Theresa May ruled that the predators should lose their British citizenship because of the heinous nature of their crimes and the fact that they still held Pakistani citizenship, saying that it would be “conducive to the public good” to revoke their right to remain in the country.
The group mounted a tax-payer funded challenge to the decision, saying that the ruling had violated their human rights. However, the appeal was later rejected in 2018. Since then, both Khan and Rauf have remained in Britain rather than being deported.
The Sun reported on Thursday that Khan has now launched another appeal, which is expected to be heard by an immigration judge some time in June. Rauf is also set to launch an appeal of his own in order to prevent the Home Office from sending him to Pakistan.
This week, Rauf candidly told a reporter that he was “surprised” that he had not been deported but that he did not believe that his removal is imminent.
A victim of Khan, who was impregnated by him when she was 13, said: “The fact they are appealing their sentences honestly makes me feel sick.”
“I have to live round here and it’s so easy to find me if they want to,” she told The Sun, adding: “We are nearly ten years on and me and the other victims are still being let down by the police and the legal system. No one seems to care.”

Maggie Oliver — the detective-turned-whistleblower who shed light on police failures to investigate primarily Muslim, Pakistani-heritage grooming gangs over fears that they would be accused of racism — said: “These girls deserve justice, not to be let down by the court system again.”
Lawyer Richard Scorer, who has represented many Rochdale grooming gang victims, told the newspaper: “This shows yet again that these men have no respect for the system and no remorse for what they put their victims through – to the point that they are walking the streets in the community many victims still live, making them all re-live the horror of their childhoods.
“The law should protect these victims and make sure they are able to try to live their lives without looking over their shoulder all the time.”
A report from the counter-extremism think tank Quilliam in 2016 claimed that some 84 per cent of grooming gang crimes were committed by Muslim men of South Asian backgrounds.
The study went on to say that grooming gangs specifically targeted young white girls as they were seen as “easy targets” compared to girls from their own communities, whom they felt should be “protected”.
Following the revelation earlier this month that Qari Abdul Rauf is still walking the streets of Rochdale, Home Secretary Priti Patel promised to “strain every sinew” to remove the child predators from the country.
