Showing rigor on migration issues is the line followed by the French government. Even when this implies establishing quotas, on detention, asylum rejection or deportations. Under the socialist government, forced returns increase, while « voluntary » returns reduce.

This cost, which includes detention in closed centers, is denounced by defenders of human rights since the budget used for deportation could be reassigned to dignified reception policies.
