The Muslims in France and the French Model of Integration

Local seasonal migrations have long been common in France,and the migrations can be throughout the whole Europe.The identification and assessment of such migration in European countries trace back to 1805 under the Napoleonic Empire regime,when nationality was based on jus sanguinis(Latin,right of blood)with the ultimate purpose of ensuring sufficient recruits in the Napoleonic armies,which is unlike the Republican France today that defines nationality on the basis of jus soli(Latin,right of the soil,also known as birthright citizenship).At the beginning of the 21st century,immigration has become a major challenge to the French domestic policy,and is closely linked to the issues of public safety,national identity,labor market,development of the European Union public policy,and the integration of the second generation by the secular,republican French model.The migration within and outside of the Europe demonstrates four conceptual issues:European residents’country of origin,French nationality,the exercising of French citizenship,and the construction of a personal identity in the context of a more and more complex family ethnic composition after the restructuring.
