I am an immigrant and I think the country I came to should be able to dictate the rules.
My approach is: I am a guest, the host has the right to set whatever house rules they want.
Well, for my convenience, I will try to disobey any rules I don't like (so will anyone else and we'll rant about "injustice" and "racism"), but this doesn't take away their right to set them.France's problem is that they did not set those rules when they let the influx of immigrants in. This is many countries problem. Naive political correctness of current times doesn't help.
When I hear ie. discussions whether or not an English exam in order to get an British citizenship is too harsh a requirement I facepalm instantly. How can you not require naturalized British to fucking speak English?
In Ireland, it is worse: they only require 5 years of residence, signature of 2 Irish (ie. a neighbour and a coworker) and a fee. No English language knowledge needed.
If I were Irish government, I would require people like me to learn fluent English and Irish (Gaelic) to be naturalized, even if native Irish rarely speak the latter Why? To make it fucking difficult to obtain, to make people earn and value it while teaching them about the culture.
