=== Socioeconomic situation of French Algerians ===

In [[Metropolitan France]] in 1963, 43% of French Algerians lived in ''[[poverty in France|bidonvilles]]'' (shanty towns).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cndp.fr/Tice/Teledoc/dossiers/dossier_gone.htm|archiveurl=https://archive.today/20010217152409/http://www.cndp.fr/Tice/Teledoc/dossiers/dossier_gone.htm|url-status=dead|title=Français, histoire - Écoles, collège|archive-date=17 February 2001|access-date=19 February 2007}}</ref> Thus, [[Azouz Begag]], the delegate Minister for Equal Opportunities, wrote an autobiographic novel, ''Le Gone du Chaâba'', about his experiences while living in a ''bidonville'' in the outskirts of Lyon. It is impossible to understand the third-generation of Algerian immigrants to France without recalling the [[biculturalism|bicultural]] experience. An official parliamentary report on the "prevention of criminality", commanded by Interior Minister [[Philippe de Villepin]] and made by the deputy [[Jacques-Alain Bénisti]], claimed, "[[Bilingualism]] (''bilinguisme'') was a factor of criminality" (sic<ref>[http://ecolesdifferentes.free.fr/rapport_BENISTI_prevention.pdf Rapport préliminaire de la commission prévention du groupe d'études parlementaire sur la sécurité intérieure – Sur la prévention de la délinquance] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061208052714/http://ecolesdifferentes.free.fr/rapport_BENISTI_prevention.pdf |date=8 December 2006 }}, presided by the deluty [[Jacques-Alain Bénisti]], October 2004 {{in lang|fr}}</ref>). Following outcries, the definitive version of the report finally made bilingualism an asset, rather than a fault.<ref>[http://www.ldh-toulon.net/spip.php?article1084 Analyse de la version finale du rapport Benisti] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070825095933/http://www.ldh-toulon.net/spip.php?article1084 |date=2007-08-25 }}, [[Ligue des droits de l'homme]] (LDH, Human Rights League), and [https://wayback.archive-it.org/all/20070615180905/http://www.abri.org/antidelation/IMG/pdf/RAPPORT_BESNISTI.pdf Final version] of the Bénisti report given to Interior Minister [[Nicolas Sarkozy]] {{in lang|fr}}</ref>
