It's not that simple, the migrant issue is only the tip of the iceberg, and it's only a minority of the population that feel that way about the migrants, the widening gap between rich and poor is the main driving force,the working class are fed up just scraping by, in fact you Americans could learn a thing or 2 about how to protest an out of control government that lines it's own pockets at the expense of the people.
Wait, France wants a subsistence society and they can’t afford it anymore, so they pinch more in taxes and you say it is about rich people?
You people vote that crap in so enjoy.😈

It isn’t America, they have different rules there, so it is very acceptable in France.

Not surprised the citizens of Paris have had enough. So much been going on over the last 10 years or so and Macron hasn't fixed the problems or listended to the people.
mmanuel Macron has ordered a swimming pool to be built in the grounds of the French president’s Riviera retreat to avoid prying paparazzi, sparking opposition claims he is dishing himself perks at the expense of the poor.
Mr Macron, 40, has already let it be known that he intends to holiday at the Brégançon fort, a 17th-century fortress overlooking the Mediterranean. Used by Charles de Gaulle and successive presidents, it had fallen out of favour of late - notably because its private beach is easy prey for paparazzi from the sea.
Mr Macron, who wants to turn Brégançon into a French Camp David for summer meetings with foreign dignitaries, had already ordered the fort to be upholstered with a new kitchen.
However, the opposition slammed the move as insensitive at time when Mr Macron’s government is reducing housing allowance for the poor and days after he was filmed complaining about the “crazy amounts of dosh” France pumps into welfare benefits that trap some people in a cycle of poverty.
Regularly forced to deny claims is “the president of the rich”, Mr Macron, 40, came under fire last week over reports the Elysée had spent around €500,000 on new crockery for the presidential palace. He came in for yet more flak over reports he had taken a costly private Falcon jet to travel just 110 km.
