The fact that those countries were colonies is not why the elites in France and the West more broadly are pushing for immigration.
I googled "degaul algeria immigration". https://berkleycenter.georgetown.edu/quotes/charles-de-gaull...
>Do you think the French body politic can absorb ten million Muslims, who tomorrow will be twenty million, after tomorrow forty? If we integrated, if all the Arabs and Berbers of Algeria were considered French, would you prevent them to settle in France, where the standard of living is so much higher?

Obviously deGaulle didnt agree with you that being a citizen of a colony gave someone the right to immigrate to France. Algerians being admitted to France for serving in the military is exactly what "invade the world invite the world" means. After the Iraq war Iraqis who collaborated with the occupiers got green cards.
This has stats on immigrants to France. As you can see, most are from Algeria, Europe, and Morroco. Further, it you investigate the sub saharan africa segment I'm quite sure you'll find it's almost exclusively from former French colonies.
The collapse of the Gaddafi regime certainly led to more migrant boats crossing, but the absolute numbers entering France are not high, and certainly not compared to other sources.
Oh, and the Algerians mostly came after the Algerian war. One of the biggest early groups were Algerians who had fought with the French army.
You appear to be very certain, but you don't seem to have any evidence to back up your views.
