French make it harder to become citizen

The new restrictions begin in January with major immigration reform. One would have to take tests on French history and culture as well as language, demonstrating proficiency of a 15 year old native speaker. I would definitely not pass that test. After the next election cycle may also bring other restrictions including denial of dual citizenship and denial of citizenship to children born in France but whose parents are not French citizens.
