Riots to prevent White voting rights?

Just because immigrants move in, they are not automatically granted voting rights. Does that sound like the US argument ongoing?
Are the newcomers granted citizenship? Does said status come with voting limits?

Anti French posts on X and Facebook permeating New Caledonia have been traced back to Azerbaijan, which is allied with Russia. France has been supportive of Armenia in its conflict with Azerbaijan, and of course, they are supportive of Ukraine after being invaded by Russia.

Sowing discord all over the world for pennies on the dollar with their bots and trolls. The Summer and Fall will be brutal as the Russians meddle in our election, and their stooges amplify their content.

Kind of makes sense to me the a French citizen moving to another part of France would be able to vote.

I have no idea if New Caledonia is similar in governance to PR. The colonies of many countries over the years have usual “set ups”.
