People take part in a demonstration against racism and an immigration law at the occasion of 40th anniversary of 1983 equality march, in Paris on 3 December 2023. 

France's upper house Senate on 14 November 2023 passed a bill aimed at controlling immigration, toughening the language and measures of the legislation in a manner likely to complicate the government's search for compromise in the lower house. 

Originally proposed by the government with a mix of steps to expel more undocumented people and improve integration, the text -- voted through by 210 to 115 -- now leans firmly towards enforcement after its passage through the Senate, which is controlled by the right.
