The French immigration model was largely developed to assimilate people at the close of the colonial era in the 1960s and paralleled somewhat the [[United States]] model. Immigrants were expected to abandon the culture of their place of origin, adopt French secularism and language, and fully assimilate. In the 21st century, with the mass arrival of Muslims who self-segregate, refuse French customs, and insist upon religious practices in public schools (daily prayers and coverings for females), social tensions have mounted. Many French feel immigrant demands are a threat to their republican form of government.

By the time of the migrant crisis, migrant groups did not assimilate and different groups developed their own separate communities, with the concept of being French fading.<ref>Meotti, Giulio (June 23, 2019).
