A President Le Pen has said she would let her compatriots vote in a referendum on how many immigrants should be allowed into the country as her first official act. She wants to severely restrict social benefits for foreigners. Under her leadership, there will be a “policy of national priority,” she has announced. The candidate wants to give preferential treatment to French women and men in the allocation of jobs and social housing. It would be a “France First” policy. But it would also violate the principle of equality enshrined in the French constitution.

U.S. and European officials and refugee advocates accuse the regime of Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko of using migrants as a “political weapon” in retaliation for sanctions.
