The GOP congresswoman said the unrest was the result of immigration policy, warning of similar protests at home if there isn't more action on the border.
France has seen nearly a week of protests in the wake of a police shooting that killed a 17-year-old boy and stirred up long-simmering tensions between the French police and young people in the country's immigrant communities. France's interior minister, Gérald Darmanin, said that the average age of the thousands of protesters who were arrested last week was 17.
French police officers patrol in front of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris on July 1, five days after a 17-year-old man was killed by police in Nanterre, a western suburb of Paris. Some commentators have criticized the rioting for being the result of open border policies and warned about possible U.S. unrest if the White House doesn't push for stricter immigration laws.
Greene isn't the only one to draw parallels between the recent events in France and American immigration policies. Politically, the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border has been a weak spot for the Biden administration, bringing fierce Republican attacks over the past two years. Since Biden took office in January 2021, his administration has reversed Trump-era restrictions on immigration. As a result, an unprecedented number of asylum seekers have arrived at the southern border in hopes of a better chance to enter the U.S. Although the number of daily encounters has remained low since the administration began cracking down on illegal border crossings in January, at one point more than 10,000 migrants were seeking entry every day.

Rep. Ted Lieu blasts Marjorie Taylor Greene for ‘totally made-up’ effort to wipe away Trump impeachmentsRep. Ted Lieu joins Alex Witt to discuss new reporting that prosecutors are preparing 30-45 more charges against Trump in a “superseding indictment.” He also criticizes Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s effort to “expunge” Trump’s impeachments. 'There is no such thing as an expungement of an impeachment... This is totally a made-up process. It's nothing more than a glorified press release with a fake vote,” he says. “This is just more stupid stuff from a radical Republican Caucus.”
