Do immigrants in France have the same rights as French nationals?
I take it that you mean legal immigrants. Social rights: they usually have the same rights (discrimination is illegal) but most social rights are linked to employment and immigrants, like the French nationals may lose some of their rights when they lose their job. There is a minimum living allowance in France that only French and other EU nationals are entitled to, as well as long-time residents, who have obtained unlimited time residency permit. Political rights: voting is limited to French nationals. Other EU nationals residing in France are entitled to vote for local elections. Illegal immigrants: even asylum seekers have no rights until they are granted resident status.
