ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

French expulsion

Imagine you are playing with your toys and your friend wants to play with them too. But you tell your friend they can’t play with your toys because it’s your stuff and you don’t want them to. This is kind of what happened with France and some people they didn’t want to share their country with.

France is a place where people live and they have rules about who can live there. Sometimes, people from other countries come to live in France without permission. This is kind of like sneaking into your friend’s house without asking their parents first.

When people come to live in France without permission, the government sometimes makes them leave. This is called an expulsion. It’s like telling your friend’s uninvited guest they have to leave, just like your friend’s parents would tell them to leave your house.

This can happen for many reasons, like if the person is doing something bad, or if they are staying in France without the right paperwork. It’s important for countries to make sure people are following their rules so everyone can live safely and happily.
