Immigrant Polygamy Is a Factor in French Unrest, a Gaullist Says - New York Times
This does not sound like a shocking theory to me. "No official figures are available on polygamy in France, although some women's rights groups estimate the number of polygamous families as high as 30,000". If this is true, I can see why there are some social problems among unemployed African immigrants. According to the article, there are plently of unemployed men living with several wifes. A lot of things can be said about polygamy, but the social welfare state has failed when unemployed losers can afford to take several wives.
