For the National Front party; extreme right party, immigration is even the very source of all problems. Those are particularly targeted are : the North African (from Maghreb. The Muslim tradition could not be absorbed in the "French melting pot." Some Historians do point out that other migrants from neighboring countries, had once known the same hostility.

Contrary to what was presented as the "French model of integration", the latter twentieth century, the French societyy would rather see discriminated groups consolidating and that for already several generations.
