France lawmakers seek deal on tougher migration bill

French lawmakers gather to strike a deal on a contested immigration bill that toughens France's immigration laws. The bill aims to make it easier for migrants in labor-scarce sectors to obtain residency permits while also facilitating the expulsion of illegal migrants. President Emmanuel Macron, lacking a majority in parliament, has had to compromise on the bill's measures to gain support from the right. Despite disagreements within Macron's camp, there are indications of an agreement being reached during the special committee meeting.
