PARIS (AP) — It's getting colder, the clock is ticking and regional authorities are scrambling to meet President Emmanuel Macron's deadline: get migrants off France's streets and out of forest hideouts by year's end.

That won't likely happen, and Macron's government is now tightening the screws: ramping up expulsions, raising pressure on economic migrants and allowing divisive ID checks in emergency shelters.

Critics contend that Macron's increasingly tough policy on migrants — though wrapped in a cloak of goodwill — contradicts his image as a humanist who defeated an anti-immigrant populist for the presidency, and has crossed a line passed by no other president in the land that prides itself as the cradle of human rights.  https://www.yahoo.com/news/macrons-firm-migrant-policy-france-tarnishes-human-touch-104744689.html https://www.yahoo.com/news/macrons-firm-migrant-policy-france-tarnishes-human-touch-104744689.html
