I'm not actually sure how accurate that is. France has an ethnically and religiously heterogeneous population, high levels of immigration from Africa, and open borders with the rest of the EU.

You’re drastically over estimating the amount of African immigrants in France.

And very few people are immigrating from the rest of the EU (in fact, French immigrants are a bit of a meme everywhere else, escaping high taxation).

Open borders with the rest of the EU is...Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium. And adorable Andorra. Oh, and Italy. All of which are comparable to Mexico where it counts, of course. /s

There are usually no border controls from France as far as the EU borders with Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Serbia and Andorra.

Romania and Bulgaria's borders seem fairly porous, and Bulgaria borders Turkey.

There is a marine border with North Africa, which is probably the closest equivalent to the US/Mexico border.
