The hardline candidate added that the country’s “virtually non-existent” immigration policies were to blame for the never-ending refugee crisis; and that illegals had been pouring into France undeterred for “decades”.
She said: “Our lax – or should I say non-existent – immigration policies are the root cause of the migrant crisis.
“Officials have turned a blind eye to illegal immigration for more than 40 years, and have let millions of paperless migrants into the country. The situation is spiralling out of control, and things can only get worse,” she said during a conference on civil rights in Paris.
Ms Le Pen added in the speech yesterday that “some” migrants chose to settle in France but then “refused” to integrate themselves into French society.
She said: “They speak their own language and follow their own rules and traditions. They have simply recreated their own locality-based communities abroad.”
The fiercely patriotic candidate added that “some” migrants were staunchly anti-French and were “at war” with their host country.
She said: “At some point in the 2000s, migrants and their children – not all, but a large majority – declared war on France.
