Immigration: French Presidency

African Immigrant Dept: And in the United States, there were glowing testimonials to a justice system that could allow a modest chambermaid, an African immigrant and mother of a teenage daughter, to accuse a powerful man of a violent and terrifying assault. But also an uneasiness in some quarters that he has not enjoyed a presumption of innocence until proven guilty, according to Globe And Mail. Did Patti the housekeeper pursue Ahnold? And weren’t those Facebook pics of her a trifle blowsy? I mean, compared to Maria? Please! In France there was outrage about American “perp-walk” justice, but also a growing uneasiness about whether Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who had been widely viewed to be a contender for the French presidency, might have gotten away with sexual harassment in high places for years. In both cases, four women – two rich, attractive and accomplished wives; two more vulnerable domestic workers – became, as a New York Times article pointed out, “collateral damage” as prurient interest in them skyrocketed. As reported in the news.
