MODERATORS
 

The French parliament has passed legislation toughening France's immigration policy.

The amended bill was backed by both President Emmanuel Macron's centrist Renaissance party and Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally (RN).

...

The new legislation makes it more difficult for migrants to bring family members to France and delays their access to welfare benefits.

It also bans detaining minors in detention centres.

A controversial provision discriminates between citizens and migrants, even those living in the country legally, in determining eligibility for benefits.

The tougher version appealed to right-wing parties, who backed it on Monday.

Ms Le Pen welcomed the amended bill, calling it an "ideological victory" for the far-right.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The amended bill was backed by both President Emmanuel Macron's centrist Renaissance party and Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally (RN).

The new legislation makes it more difficult for migrants to bring family members to France and delays their access to welfare benefits.

The new pact, agreed by EU governments and European Parliament members, includes creating border detention centres and enabling the quicker deportation of rejected asylum seekers.

Hailed as a landmark agreement by Parliament President Roberta Metsola, the new system allows asylum seekers to be relocated from southern member states, which have the highest numbers of arrivals, to other countries.

Health Minister Aurélien Rousseau, who was a member of the Communist party in his youth, stepped down in protest at the immigration law.

"Some measures in the bill make me very uncomfortable," said Yaël Braun-Pivet, the president of the lower house of parliament and a member of Mr Macron's party.
