My humble opinion is based on my personal knowledge, given my sister lives in France for many years and I myself was born about 5 decades ago on the border in the North of France.
Contrary to what is believed outside France, the current unrest has nothing to do with the immigration policy of recent years, but with the poor integration policy for migrants over the last three to four decades. Unlike in the Netherlands, for example, where migrants are not housed in immigrant ghettos like the banlieues, but are mixed with the population, making integration easier. Previous governments were aware of the seriousness of the problem and promised to solve it, but they failed by always pushing the problem in front of them, hoping that the next government would already solve it. Le Pen and her party comrades, on the other hand, shamelessly exploit the immigration crisis with classic right-wing rhetoric, but without presenting realistic solutions. Le Pen and her ilk will never be able to solve the immigration crisis; in fact, they will exacerbate it on an unprecedented scale. These parties are the modern-day Pied Pipers of Hamelin.
