What you're not understanding is you're trying to take situations where open immigration doesn't exist and trying to use that to say that open immigration would be bad, first off the problems in Africa as I already pointed out are systemic and far deeper than people moving into the city and not finding opportunity, in fact for many in the city, things would be worse in many of the more tribal regions.  You have political and ethnic tensions in many of the countries that are the problems not immigration

As you yourself pointed out, France has a racial/ethnic problem that is a bigger reason than economic, also you are making the flaw of thinking that if there was open immigration there would be a bigger problem, wrong, if there was open immigration, the excess population would move to other European countries where population pressures would not be an issue.

There is open immigration inside the EU...

also you seem to be missing the fact that there is excess population.

For example.  Immigration increases the US' population by about 2.5 million per year.  The US doesn't have a population problem to where we really need more then that per year... it would actually probably start getting bothersome

One plan during the Civil War the south was considering in it's darker days was to release a large portion of their slaves and deport them all north to wreck the Norths economy since they would have to take care of them.

Open Immigration within EU is only for citizens of the EU

Also a lot of countries in the west have negative or declining population or aging populations, actually the US has an aging population, immigration will be needed in a few decades in order to maintain our population.
