Marine Le Pen, the leader of National Rally, says unaccompanied migrant minors generate petty crime and incur huge costs on the French state
French politician Marine Le Pen, president of the National Rally (RN) party, demanded on Tuesday the return of unaccompanied minors to their country of origin because she believes they generate enormous amounts of crime and cause “exorbitant financial cost”.
“True unaccompanied minors do not have to stay on our territory, but must, in conjunction with Unicef and NGOs specializing in these issues, be repatriated to their country of origin in order to be protected there. and to find their home,” Le Pen wrote in a press release of the party.
She also repeated her call to make bone tests compulsory to verify the age of these unaccompanied minors, however controversial the process may be.
As Remix News reported earlier, the Pakistani man who seriously injured two people with a meat cleaver last Friday in what authorities handle as an Islamist terrorist attack, has been in state social care although social workers had asked for a bone test, because he looked much older than his stated age. Their request was denied by a local juvenile tribunal.
