Mr. Speaker. France has a new President. Nicolas Sarkozy. While the world waits to see if he will give vigor and energy and leadership to his complex and sometimes difficult French people. his position on illegal immigration is quite clear. Europe has its influx of illegals. not unlike the United States. Northern Africans are fleeing their native lands for Europe. They go mostly to Spain. where French Presidentelect Sarkozy accuses Spain of promoting amnesty in that Nation. Of course. once in Spain. it seems these illegals can roam Europe with ease. Mr. Sarkozy claims Spain wants to give amnesty to now 600.000 illegals in its Nation.
