In a 26 June letter to Arthur de Gobineau , author of An Essay on the Inequality of the Human Races —55 and one of the first theoreticians of " scientific racism ", he wrote:. The French mind turns little to ethnographic considerations: France has little belief in race, [ Does that mean total decadence?
Yes, certainly from the standpoint of the stability of institutions, the originality of character, a certain nobility that I hold to be the most important factor in the conjunction of human affairs. But also what compensations! No doubt if the noble elements mixed in the blood of a people happened to disappear completely, then there would be a demeaning equality, like that of some Eastern states and in some respects China. But it is in fact a very small amount of noble blood put into the circulation of a people that is enough to ennoble them, at least as to historical effects; this is how France, a nation so completely fallen into commonness, in practice plays on the world stage the role of a gentleman.
Setting aside the quite inferior races whose intermingling with the great races would only poison the human species, I see in the future a homogeneous humanity. Feudal law recognized personal allegeance to the sovereign , but the subjects of the sovereign were defined by their birthland. According to the 3 September Constitution, those who are born in France from a foreign father and have fixed their residency in France, or those who, after being born in foreign country from a French father, have come to France and have sworn their civil oath, become French citizens. Because of the war, distrust toward foreigners led to the obligation on the part of this last category to swear a civil oath in order to gain French nationality.
However, the Napoleonic Code would insist on jus sanguinis "right of blood". However, according to Patrick Weil , it was not "ethnically motivated" but "only meant that family links transmitted by the pater familias had become more important than subjecthood". With the 7 February law, voted during the Second Republic — , "double jus soli " was introduced in French legislation, combining birth origin with paternity.
Thus, it gave French nationality to the child of a foreigner, if both are born in France, except if the year following his coming of age he reclaims a foreign nationality thus prohibiting dual nationality. This law was in part passed because of conscription concerns. This system more or less remained the same until the reform of the Nationality Code, created by the 9 January law.
The reform, which defines the Nationality law , is deemed controversial by some. It commits young people born in France to foreign parents to solicit French nationality between the ages of 16 and This has been criticized, some arguing that the principle of equality before the law was not complied with, since French nationality was no longer given automatically at birth, as in the classic "double jus soli " law, but was to be requested when approaching adulthood. Henceforth, children born in France from French parents were differentiated from children born in France from foreign parents, creating a hiatus between these two categories.
The reform was prepared by the Pasqua laws. The first Pasqua law, in , restricts residence conditions in France and facilitates expulsions. With this law, a child born in France from foreign parents can only acquire French nationality if he or she demonstrates his or her will to do so, at age 16, by proving that he or she has been schooled in France and has a sufficient command of the French language.
This new policy is symbolized by the expulsion of Malians by charter. The second Pasqua law on "immigration control" makes regularisation of illegal aliens more difficult and, in general, residence conditions for foreigners much harder. Charles Pasqua, who said on 11 May Therefore, modern French nationality law combines four factors: The Maastricht Treaty introduced the concept of European citizenship , which comes in addition to national citizenships.
By definition, a " foreigner " is someone who does not have French nationality. Therefore, it is not a synonym of " immigrant ", as a foreigner may be born in France.

On the other hand, a Frenchman born abroad may be considered an immigrant e. In most of the cases, however, a foreigner is an immigrant, and vice versa. They either benefit from legal sojourn in France, which, after a residency of ten years, makes it possible to ask for naturalisation. Some argue that this privation of nationality and citizenship does not square with their contribution to the national economic efforts, and thus to economic growth.

However, large it may have been at one time, it has lost all identity of its French origin, often with the translation of names examples: Huguenots appeared in all of the English colonies and likewise assimilated. Even though this mass settlement approached the size of the settlement of the French settlement of Quebec, it has assimilated into the English-speaking mainstream to a much greater extent than other French colonial groups and has left few traces of cultural influence.
