Mrs. Kouate(center), was born in the Republic of Guinea and moved here in 2005. Fatoumata Cissokho(right) was born in Senegal and moved here in 2001. All three women are mothers of French born children. But because of a new law none of the children have automatic right to French papers since none of their parents were born in France.
