Koutoubo Gassama spent a week in a Strasbourg detention center in October waiting to be expelled to Senegal as part of French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s clampdown on illegal http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=1331. Instead, the 27-year-old cook was granted permission to stay on a temporary work visa.
Gassama, who works at a hotel in a snowy mountain pass in eastern France, benefited from a little-publicized amendment to the immigration law that last year grabbed headlines for proposing DNA tests for foreigners wanting to join family members. His case may signal a milder turn in Sarkozy’s law-and-order immigration policy.”There are people who need to hire and others who want to be hired,” said Violaine Carrere, who’s in charge of labor issues at GISTI, a Paris-based charity that provides legal support to immigrants. “The reasoning is to put them together and do it silently.”

The Western Voices reader who sent us this article made the following comment: “Sarkozy changed to a tough position on illegals in France to defeat Le Pen. He now shows his true colors by supporting amnesty for illegals in France. The article mentions a DNA test be given to illegals; a DNA test should be given to Sarkozy. He himself isn’t French.” In fact, Sarkozy is the offspring of a Hungarian Jewish father and a Greek Jewish mother.
