Yesterday, hundreds of undocumented migrants took control of Terminal 2 of the Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris France. Approximately 500 migrants seized the terminal.
“France does not belong to the French! Everyone has a right to be here!” one person can be heard yelling into a loudspeaker.
The protest was organized by the migrant support group “La Chapelle Debout,” which said their members call themselves “Black Vests.”
The group comes amid the country’s months-long “Yellow Vests movement” over tax reforms; French citizens are required to carry yellow vests in their vehicles for emergencies. (source)
A quick-thinking person took video, which has been widely shared across Twitter.

Migrants warn it won’t stop here.
The organized group released an official statement and warned this will not be the last effort such as this.
In an official statement, the group asked to meet with Prime Minister Edouard Philippe over the country’s asylum policy and the leaders of Air France. They demanded that the airline “stop any financial, material, logistical or political participation in deportations.”
Later Sunday, an Air France delegation met with the group, a member told local newspaper Le Parisien.
A migrant who took part in the protest warned it wouldn’t be the last.
“We have targeted Air France, and other actions will follow,” he told the paper. (source)
All of the migrants involved appear to have a common thread.

This is not an isolated incidence of migrants behaving badly. Here’s another example and another still.
What an incredibly dangerous precedent
The migrants are reported to have refused to allow passengers to board their planes until their demands were met. They were held back by riot police but actually got a meeting with a representative of Air France.
What kind of precedent does this set? One tweet even suggests “Prime Minister Édouard Philippe caved into their demands and gave them all permanent legal status, though that hasn’t been confirmed.” (source)

This means that you can go into a foreign country and make demands and people will actually listen. People will actually capitulate to your demands in a place where you are by the grace of the local government. If there was any doubt that there’d be more of these types of sieges, I think we can lay that to rest right now.
We have not seen the end of the Black Vests
I’m not against people migrating to other countries. I’ve done it myself and I’ve brought my children back to my own country. But there are processes. This is not one of those processes.
Currently, reports say the siege has ended. There are no reports of arrests.
France does not belong to the French, indeed.
Pepper spray them and lock their arses up, they need to be taught some respect, then deport them.
Yep. Only don’t lock them up. Stick them on a few large jets and send them back where they came from.
Parachutes optional.
This is an invasion, not a protest. If you come to a country you are accepting their laws.
Will their boldness be rewarded? They’ve made it clear they are not there to assimilate, but to conquer. And notice that the majority of these “immigrants” (actually, invaders) are young men. They are revealing the weakness of the French leadership.
Well they aren’t wrong. The French, among others, have coddled them and given in and turned over to their demands. They’ve no intention of assimilation nor being productive.
It’s that way in pockets here. This shoulda been a 1/2hr job in removal. Instead it’s still ongoing
Could this group be Macron’s Gang Members to counter the Yellow Vest Movement?
They are now there illegally, deport the lot. Giving ng vous n to their demands will only end badly…
Next time it will be thousands..why wait for your claim to be processed when you can have a tantrum and get your legal status? Probably one of the more stupid things the French have done in regards to immigration
Strt shooting them…period…
I smell Soros…..
One has to wonder when such “protests” are scheduled for here in the US. Soon, I would think…
Stay safe friends, and avoid crowds….
I’m hoping that we will be relatively safe here for the rest of 2019. But, hold onto your hats during the 2020 election cycle. Make sure all your preps are as complete as you can make them BRFORE 2020!
