M. André Chassaigne interroge M. le ministre d'État, ministre de l'intérieur, sur la procédure et les délais de prise de rendez-vous avec les services des préfectures pour les personnes ayant besoin d'obtenir ou de renouveler leur titre de séjour. En effet, depuis plusieurs années, et notamment depuis l'arrêté du 04/07/2013, les personnes bénéficiant d'un titre de séjour doivent passer par internet pour fixer un rendez-vous. L'article 8 de cet arrêté instaure cependant un droit d'opposition à la dématérialisation de la procédure, suivant la délibération de la CNIL du 07/03/2013 qui alertait les autorités sur l'importance de maintenir une procédure alternative au regard de la fragilité de la population concernée. Mais cette disposition est manifestement peu ou pas appliquée. En outre, cette procédure dématérialisée imposée par le ministère s'avère totalement inadaptée aux besoins. Il faut en effet se connecter des dizaines de fois pour multiplier ses chances d'obtenir un rendez-vous, parfois sans jamais aboutir ! Et les personnes disposant d'un titre de séjour limité à un an doivent recommencer ce « parcours du combattant » tous les ans. Le comble est que le demandeur est sanctionné d'une taxe de 180 euros s'il n'a pas pu obtenir un rendez-vous avant la date limite de validité, et même s'il peut justifier de très nombreuses tentatives avant cette date. Ce dysfonctionnement a été confirmé par le Défenseur des droits, dans son rapport publié en mai 2016, soulignant que « les demandeurs n'arrivent jamais à obtenir de rendez-vous, le volume de plages horaires proposées s'avérant manifestement insuffisant » Il citait également le rapport « À guichets fermés » rendu public le 16/03/2016 par la Cimade, qui avait réalisé des enquêtes confirmant que le service public rendu par une majorité des préfectures était totalement insuffisant. Dans ce cadre, le Défenseur des droits a fait des recommandations au ministère de l'intérieur afin que celui-ci intervienne auprès des préfets. Aussi, les demandeurs et leurs proches, les associations, les élus locaux sollicités, comme le personnel concerné des préfectures, ont des raisons légitimes d'être excédés par cette situation inacceptable. Toutes les parties concernées demandent de nouveaux moyens et l'élaboration en concertation d'une procédure plus adaptée. Il lui demande de prendre en urgence les mesures nécessaires pour améliorer la prise de rendez-vous et l'instruction des dossiers de titres de séjour. Il lui demande aussi d'intervenir afin que soit supprimée toute sanction financière à l'égard des demandeurs quand le retard est manifestement imputable au dysfonctionnement du système de prise de rendez-vous.
France · National Assembly · 7 August 2017
M. André Chassaigne interroge M. le ministre d'État, ministre de l'intérieur, sur les nouvelles conditions d'obtention de la carte de séjour portant la mention « salarié ». L'article 12 de la loi n° 2016-274 du 7 mars 2016 a profondément modifié l'article L. 313-10 du code de l'entrée et du séjour des étrangers et du droit d'asile. En effet, antérieurement à ce dispositif, la carte de séjour portant la mention « salarié » était délivrée aux étrangers titulaires d'un contrat de travail d'une durée supérieure à un an (CDI ou CDD), la carte de séjour portant la mention « travailleur temporaire » étant attribuée aux étrangers titulaires d'un CDD d'une durée inférieure à un an, entre autres. Désormais, la nouvelle rédaction de l'article L. 313-10 du CESEDA réserve la carte de séjour temporaire portant la mention « salarié » aux seuls détenteurs d'un CDI, les détenteurs d'un CDD bénéficiant de façon systématique d'une carte de séjour portant la mention « travailleur temporaire ». Or cette modification emporte des conséquences néfastes, voire désastreuses, pour certaines catégories de ressortissants étrangers, notamment au niveau de l'inscription et de l'indemnisation auprès de Pôle emploi, sans parler des conditions éminemment drastiques de renouvellement du titre de séjour « travailleur temporaire » pouvant conduire à des refus de séjour. À titre d'exemple, les étrangers régularisés au titre de la circulaire du 28 novembre 2012 et de l'article L. 313-14 du CESEDA, pour la plupart restés des années sans titre de séjour mais ayant pu apporter la preuve de leur activité salariée, ont obtenu des services préfectoraux des cartes de séjour « salarié » (souvent renouvelées plusieurs années). Le Gouvernement sait en effet qu'il s'agit d'une population souvent précaire occupant des emplois dans des secteurs économiques « gourmands » en CDD. Ces étrangers risquent désormais de basculer dans la catégorie « travailleur temporaire » et, bien qu'ayant cotisé aux ASSEDIC, pourront se voir refuser le renouvellement de leur titre de séjour. Toujours à titre d'exemple, les mineurs isolés étrangers entrés en France entre 16 et 18 ans, et confiés par décision de justice à l'aide sociale à l'enfance, et qui à leur majorité, en application de la rédaction des dispositions de l'article L. 313-15 du CESEDA, peuvent se voir délivrer une carte de séjour « salarié » ou « travailleur temporaire », risquent également de se voir opposer des refus de séjour. Alors qu'un contrat de professionnalisation, qui est un CDD de 2 ans, pouvait donner lieu à l'attribution d'une carte de séjour « salarié », les nouvelles dispositions imposeront la délivrance d'une carte de séjour « travailleur temporaire ». Or ces publics d'une grande fragilité, et qui ont été admis au titre d'une décision de justice, nécessitent une attention particulière de la part de l'État, notamment au niveau des autorisations de séjour et de travail. Il l'interroge sur les mesures qu'il compte prendre pour ne pas faire retomber dans la précarité et la clandestinité des étrangers régularisés après de longues années passées en France et les mineurs isolés étrangers dont la stabilité du séjour est une condition essentielle de leur insertion sur le territoire national.

Reforming American Immigration for a Strong Economy Act or the RAISE Act This bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to: eliminate the diversity visa program; replace the current employment visa system with a skills-based point system; revise the worldwide level of family-sponsored immigrants, including by eliminating certain family-based immigration preferences; establish a 50,000 annual limit for refugees given permanent resident status; and create a nonimmigrant visa for parents of U.S. citizen children who are at least 21 years old. The bill prohibits an alien from being be naturalized if his or her sponsor has not repaid the federal government for all means-tested public benefits received by the alien during the five-year period beginning on the date the alien was lawfully admitted for permanent residence.

Prioritizing Education in Conflict Zones Act of 2017 This bill amends the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to authorize the Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), through the Director of Refugee Educational Assistance (to be designated by USAID), to provide long-term assistance to expand and improve primary and secondary education for displaced children from areas of conflict. Such assistance shall be used to: (1) build the capacity for private sector and civil society organizations to develop and strengthen primary and secondary curricula, coordinate with host country educational facilities, and strengthen technical capacities; (2) establish and expand U.S.-host country educational partnerships; and (3) assist efforts to educate women and girls. The director shall seek to use funding appropriated for the purposes of this bill to leverage private sector funding for such purposes and shall prioritize efforts to identify such sources of such private sector funding.
