Rétablir le délit de séjour irrégulier

This legislative proposal aims to re-establish the legal classification of staying in the country without a valid residence permit as a criminal offence. It seeks to strengthen immigration control by introducing stricter legal penalties for individuals residing irregularly within French territory. This measure primarily affects foreign nationals living in France without legal authorization. If passed, it would change their legal status from an administrative violation to a criminal offence, potentially leading to increased prosecutions and deportations.
