Chapter 2078

The Albanian mafia had a bit of trouble before.

Their main activities are in Europe and the UK, with the largest share in France... The Gallic rooster has always been very active in absorbing immigrants. France has a tradition of absorbing foreign immigrants. Currently, foreign immigrants living in France account for more than 10% of the French population, and about 200,000 foreign immigrants enter France every year. Although some French people exclude foreigners due to racial discrimination or social competition, and French right-wing parties also advocate restrictions on foreign immigration, no public policy makers have implemented measures to completely eliminate immigration.

First, France needs to pay social security through immigrant labor to cope with the problem of insufficient social security funds caused by an aging population. Secondly, in the tide of economic globalization and rapid development of science and technology, France needs to widely attract high-end talents and investors in various industries such as scientific and technological research and development, business management, medical health, art and sports, and maintain and promote the prosperity and development of its various fields. Secondly, France also needs foreign immigrant labor to engage in hard and low-income jobs that the French are unwilling to undertake. In addition, it must assume humanitarian obligations, accept applications for family reunification, and resettle foreigners who enter illegally and request asylum.

The characteristic of French welfare is that, regardless of nationality, as long as a person has legal residence status in France, he or she can enjoy welfare. That is to say, as latecomers, immigrants can enjoy the same welfare as French people. There are too many welfare benefits: the government takes out a large amount of money from the treasury every year for various welfare subsidies. A child starts to enjoy one of these 400 welfare benefits from the fifth month after the mother's pregnancy until he grows up and dies. French welfare expenditure as a percentage of GDP: 9% in France This can be seen from the proportion of welfare expenditure. France has been the country with the highest nationality quality in the world for eight consecutive years, which means that people holding French passports have stable development in France; abroad, they can enjoy visa-free entry to many countries, have a perfect travel experience and excellent settlement conditions. Germany and Finland are tied for second place. The scores of these two countries are not much different from France, and France has a slight advantage in "freedom of settlement". According to the EU agreement, any citizen of an EU member state can live, work, study, and retire in the 27 EU countries and the four European Free Trade Association countries of Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein, and enjoy basically the same welfare benefits and rights as local citizens. With a French passport, you can choose any of the 31 European countries you like to live, study, and work, and you can travel freely between these countries without visas and customs clearance procedures.

Permanent real estate property rights In France, land and property ownership is permanent and can be transferred to spouses, children and grandchildren and others, and can be passed down from generation to generation. High return on investment Compared with domestic housing prices, the current European real estate prices have gradually been accepted by ordinary investors, with a high cost-effectiveness. Mature management French real estate management is very mature, and property management and entrusted management are managed by professional companies. Children enjoy international education France is the third largest host country for international students in the world. Education that can be enjoyed after immigrating to France. French educational benefits: free public education from elementary school to university. This is not available in many European and American countries, especially kindergartens and universities are free. This is beyond the capabilities of many so-called welfare powers.

This has also led to many immigrants from poor places who like to go to France very much.

The country's immigration policy is unique. Different from the multicultural development model of "national melting pot", France adopts a unique "republican model", which weakens the ethnic consciousness of immigrants in an institutionalized way, and emphasizes the commonality brought by citizenship based on the "individual-government" contract with the national region as the center, so as to assimilate foreign ethnic groups, rather than highlighting the diversified characteristics of ethnic groups. In other words, the policy structure treats everyone equally.

The "republican model" originated from the centralist political proposition formed after the Great Revolution, and also from the spirit of equality upheld by France, aiming to promote French national identity. But will ethnic differences disappear due to selective neglect? French scholars believe that the "republican model" is a myth in contemporary France.

Under the "republican model", France once absorbed a lot of immigrants from other European countries. After World War II, with the traditional 1960s, immigrants from the Maghreb region, France's former North African colony, entered France in large numbers. The large differences in language, religion and culture challenge the government's immigration policy. The French found that new immigrants had neither the desire nor the ability to complete assimilation under the "republican model", which brought more and more social problems to the country and caused controversy in the political arena. The right-wing parties demand changes in the laws and regulations for granting nationality, and doubt the loyalty of new immigrants to the country; the left-wing parties demand improvements in the social environment and the establishment of special institutions to assist in the "assimilation" of immigrants. However, they all believe that immigrants' inability to integrate is affected by culture, religion or traditional family relationships.

In the late 1990s, as the social problems brought about by immigrants intensified, the measures taken by the French government were not cultural diversity and coexistence, but anti-discrimination policies that attempted to weaken ethnic characteristics, and tried to use anti-discrimination methods to reshape immigrants' confidence in the French nation-state and enhance citizen identity.

The new policy brings new problems, that is, who is discriminated against by society? When conducting policy mobilization, it is still necessary to use "Arabs", "Gypsies", "Blacks", "Asians" or "People of Color" to mobilize the people; but in the formulation of specific measures, the anti-discrimination policy attempts not to highlight a single ethnic group, and defines the beneficiaries as "youth with an immigrant background" and "youth in poor communities".

When explaining the anti-discrimination policy, the former French interior minister used the term "people born in the recent wave of immigration", but in fact everyone knows that the vast majority of people he is talking about are descendants of North Africans or blacks in French society. Not only that, in government statistics, France also tries to avoid using race or ethnicity as a basic classification to prevent immigrants from feeling isolated and excluded. This practice has been questioned. Demographic experts once asked in an article in Le Monde that if we want to oppose discrimination against new immigrants, but we are not allowed to use race or ethnicity as a basic statistical unit to measure the degree and negative impact of social discrimination, how can we fight discrimination?

Under the "republican model", France's anti-discrimination policy aimed at solving the immigration problem is "disguised". Anti-discrimination targets uneven regional development and supports underdeveloped regions in various ways, such as increasing the proportion of enrollment in low-income concentrated communities in colleges and universities. In addition, the government is also evasive and vague when describing the composition of citizens.

The government's failure to mention it does not mean that the problem has disappeared. In public opinion, a gap between "us" and "them" has gradually emerged. In French history, there has been no prevention of the emergence of words such as "Poles" and "Middle Easterners" targeting immigrants. During the Algerian War of Independence, there were also clear-cut references such as "French Muslims" and "North African French". Today, the so-called "Beur" people refer to the second generation of Maghreb immigrants.

The former French Minister of the Interior once said: "If someone moves into your house and eats the contents of the refrigerator, do you have the right to kick him out?" This statement regards the country as private property, emphasizes that outsiders are guests and should be reserved and polite, and implies that immigrants can enjoy rights but also fulfill their obligations. However, this statement itself distinguishes immigrants as an ethnic group from native French people. Is emphasizing these things emphasizing that immigrants are new and have a low status?

Under this sentiment, France's "republican model" has formed a paradox, with some people who are neither French nor foreigners; neither "newcomers" nor natives; neither guests nor hosts. And these people themselves do not regard themselves as "assimilated" by mainstream society because of the "republican model" or anti-discrimination policies.

The troubled "republican model" immigration policy has not brought France a uniform national identity as it was envisioned. Using "assimilation" as a cover and the policy of "no difference in skin color" as a cover, instead of promoting the coexistence of multiple cultures, this approach has deepened ethnic confrontation.

This has caused many immigrant groups in France to be excluded by the so-called mainstream, and as a result, all kinds of gangs have naturally emerged.

Under such circumstances, the Albanian gangs have risen in France.

However, in an accident, Albania suffered a heavy blow!

As for the reason... no one knows. It is only known that overnight, the Albanian gangs' strongholds in Paris were hit and many people died.

The government covered up this matter. There was no way. Too many people died, and all of them were immigrants and illegal immigrants. Once exposed, it would immediately cause an uproar, and other immigrants might take to the streets...

The French are always happy to take to the streets and do something exciting.

This kind of thing happens basically every year, but the authorities will still be more cautious on immigration issues.

Not to mention, along with the Albanian gangs, a large group of dignitaries and dignitaries were also destroyed... What on earth did these people do, and why were they wiped out together with the Albanian gangs... Everyone who should know knows.

Although the loss of so many important figures made the authorities very angry.

But thinking of the deadly "hobby" of this gang, the authorities decisively shut up. After all, if it was exposed, it would cause more trouble.

Although the matter was suppressed, the impact still spread. First of all, the power of the Albanian gangs in France was greatly reduced... The Albanian gangs used to be very powerful, and once made the bear gangs retreat.

But after the massacre, Albania's manpower in France suddenly decreased by 40%!

And the competition between the Albanian gangs and the bear gangs is very fierce.

Moreover, the main way for the Albanian mafia to make money is to engage in telecom fraud, human trafficking, and sex business. Just like the gangs in northern Myanmar, they usually smuggle the poor and refugees from Albania and the Balkans to Italy, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States, which are developed countries in Europe and the United States. The more illegal immigrants there are in Albania, the easier it is to form more mafia gangs, and many young Albanian women have become streetwalkers in European and American countries.

This aspect has a great conflict with the Mao Xiong mafia in terms of business.

So when Albania's manpower was greatly reduced, the Mao Xiong mafia immediately launched a counterattack.

In fact, it is not just the Mao Xiong mafia.

Including local white mafia, black mafia and Arab mafia, they all took action. In just half a month, Albania's territory and business in Paris were robbed of almost 80%... They can't get it back for a while.

No way, manpower is really not something that can be turned out in a short time. After all, they recruit new people from their hometowns or from immigrants from their own country. As for the locals... the gap is too big.

So they can only expand the market.

Where to expand?

Of course, the United States!

It's funny to say that although the American gangs look intimidating, in fact, in the world's underworld, the American gangs look more like a group of thugs.

Looking at the world's famous gangs in Russia, the United States, Japan, Italy, etc., although their actions are either barbaric or high-sounding, they have the same impact on the regional and even world political economy by expanding their power. Russian gangs have long been engaged in arms and nuclear transactions, which has always been a nightmare for the US government. Japan's Yamaguchi-gumi gangs have maintained the support of the people behind their crimes - not only are there strict disciplines within the gang, but they have also actively participated in rescue after the two major earthquakes in Japan. The Italian mafia is all over the world, and the Colombian gangs rely on drug trafficking to make a fortune. Medellin, the second largest city in Colombia, has almost become the territory of drug lords.

In comparison, American gangs are more like playing... There is no style at all.

American gangs are at the bottom of the world's gang contempt chain!

So many gangs will go to the United States if they want to make money. First of all, the economy is good. To put it bluntly, gangs are for money! So they go wherever there is money.

Secondly, the grassroots management is poor.

Gangs need a living environment. For example, in China, the living environment of gangs is very difficult, no, it is harsh! There is no living space at all. But it is different in the United States. Money is the most important thing here, and the grassroots management is quite loose. So gangs can live well here.

So the United States is the first choice for many gangs to "go overseas".

The famous gangs in the world will come to the United States if they want to develop.

For example, the famous Mafia, Mexican gangs, Latin American gangs, etc.

So the Albanian gangs also decided to go overseas.

Don't fight with the bears in Europe!

First, go to the American gangsters to recover blood.

So they came.

Then Aphrodite was fortunate to become the first "experiencer" of their business in the United States.

I just don't know what they will think when they learn that the client they are about to take over is a god...
