PRESIDENT Nicolas Sarkozy says there are too many immigrants in France, as the country's presidential election campaign becomes caught up in issues of religion and identity.
Defending a re-election campaign promise to cut the number of new arrivals in half, Mr Sarkozy bluntly declared that France's attempts to integrate foreign arrivals into its culture and society had become paralysed.
"Our system of integration is working more and more badly, because we have too many foreigners on our territory and we can no longer manage to find them accommodation, a job, a school," Mr Sarkozy said.(source)
