I was in france there three times as tourists and visit friends , i can tell you the immigrants were brought in the fifties to help rebuild the country from the war devastation and rebuild the economy , but was never fully integrated in their life as real french , they created "ghettos" .
They never figure out what to do with their immigrants since then , their laws are weak , very weak compared to the north amrican countries .
Quotas? This is one of the biggest mistakes you an make. It prevents an entity (governmental or otherwise) from actually adressing racial issues. It's a bandage that provides a false sense of security. Who says the demographic of any one profession is going to match that of society?

The same goes for giving special consideration to women or minority owned small businesses. Every small biz needs help to survive - a business owned by a wonam or minority is no more needy than one owned by a white male.
