För det första är skiljer det mycket mellan de båda länderna och för det andra har Frankrike en helt annan typ av invandring än vad Storbritannien har. De Nordafrikaner som migrerade till Frankrike efter VK2 var i allmänhet inte lika religiösa och kunde redan det franska språket och var införstådda i den franska kulturen innan de kom till landet. Man har så vitt jag vet haft mindre problem med muslimska fundamentalister även om problemen ökat på sistone. De svarta invandrarna från kolonierna var övervägande kristna(Katoliker/protestanter)/ateister och kunde även de franska perfekt från början. Hur det förhåller sig med deras integration eller brottsfrekvens i dag har jag dock inte en susning om.
Frankrike har även tagit emot en hel del italienska, ungerska, rumänska, polska, spanska och portugisiska invandrare som aldrig inneburit några problem för integration eller assimilation.
Citat:
Italian migration into what is today France has been going on, in different migrating cycles, for centuries, beginning in prehistoric times right to the modern age.[22] In addition, Corsica passed from the Republic of Genova to France in in 1770, and the area around Nice and Savoy from the Kingdom of Sardinia to France in 1860.
Initially, Italian immigration to modern France (late 18th to the early 20th C.) came predominantly from northern Italy (Piedmont, Veneto), then from central Italy (Marche, Umbria), mostly to the bordering southeastern region of Provence.[22] It wasn't until after World War II that large numbers of immigrants from southern Italy immigrated to France, usually settling in industrialised areas of France, such as Lorraine, Paris and Lyon.[22] Today, it is estimated that as many as 5 million French nationals have Italian ancestry going back three generations.[22]

Citat:
Nicolas Sarkozy is a Frenchman of mixed national and ethnic ancestry. He is the son of Pál István Ernő Sárközy de Nagy-Bócsa, (Hungarian: nagybócsai Sárközy Pál; some sources spell it Nagy-Bócsay Sárközy Pál István Ernő; Hungarian pronunciation (help·info) nɒɟ͡ʝboːt͡ʃɒi ʃaːrkøzi paːl)[6] a Hungarian aristocrat,[7] and Andrée Jeanne "Dadu" Mallah (b. Paris, 12 October 1925), who is of French Catholic and Ottoman-Sephardic Jewish descent.[8] They were married at Saint-François-de-Sales, Paris XVII, on 8 February 1950 and divorced in 1959.[9]
Pál Sárközy was born on 5 May 1928 in Budapest into a family belonging to the lesser Hungarian nobility. They possessed lands and a small castle in the village of Alattyán, near Szolnok, 92 km (57 miles) east of Budapest.[6] Pál Sárközy's father and grandfather held elective offices in the town of Szolnok. Although the Sárközy de Nagy-Bócsa (nagybócsai Sárközy) family was Protestant, Pál Sárközy's mother, Katalin Tóth de Csáford (Hungarian: csáfordi Tóth Katalin), grandmother of Nicolas Sarkozy, belonged to a Catholic noble family.
