French vote for controlled immigration:>>French elect Conservative (CNN)- "The French people have called for change. I will carry out that change, because that's the mandate I have received from the French people" said the newly elected leader.

Sarkozy added that he wanted to tell his "American friends that they can rely on our friendship ... France will always be next to them when they need us."

Violence was reported after the election outcome. Youths clashed with police in Paris and Lyon on Sunday, and security forces fired tear gas at 2,000 protesters in the French capital.

Sarkozy said he would put in place an immigration policy "that is going to be controlled" and a development policy "that is going to be ambitious."

The campaign had been dominated by a debate over how to improve economic growth and reduce unemployment among the young, but its most explosive moments focused on immigration.

Sarkozy said France could not provide "a home for all the world's miseries."

On Friday, his opponent said a Sarkozy presidency could trigger violence and brutalities in suburbs with high immigrant populations, prompting Sarkozy to condemn her "threatening comments."

There are no official figures on the number of North African immigrants and their French-born descendants in France. Unofficially, the number is estimated at between 3 million and 6 million.<<
