Philippe : "Il ne nous sera pas possible d'accueillir la totalité des migrants économiques"

Description

Le gouvernement a présenté mercredi son "plan migrants" à propos de l'asile, de l'immigration irrégulière et de l'immigration économique. Dès le début de sa conférence de presse Edouard Philippe a concédé : "Nous ne sommes pas à la hauteur de ce que doit être la France". Il a rappelé également que le pays devra être "ferme" sur la question des migrants économiques car "il ne nous sera pas possible d'accueillir la totalité" de ces personnes. A contrario, le Premier ministre a assuré vouloir traiter "dignement et dans les meilleures conditions les réfugiés". Pour ce faire, il a annoncé que 7.500 places d'hébergement pour les demandeurs d'asile et 5.000 places pour les réfugiés allaient être créés d'ici 2019.
