The French Government's refusal to grant legal status to undocumented workers (some of whom have worked in La Belle France for over ten years) is an obvious scandal and disgrace. The odious Hortefeux, the minister of the (ridiculous yet sinister sounding) Immigration and Nationality department hasn't even the front to show his grotesque geule and defend his decision to take each exile on a 'case by case' basis. Presumably his wretched office is too busy trying to meet its 2008 target of 28000 'illegals expelled. The ghost workers have gone on strike. Good on them. Some work in the same luxury restuarants frequented by the beleaguered toadstool presidenté himself and have gone on hunger strike in protest. Unfortunately for them, they have the French 'left wing' union the CGT on 'their side'. I do hope they have stocked up well beforehand.
