I did not find much information about French immigration policy during 1871-1914, however, after ww2 IOTL France clearly and actively encouraged immigration into its metropolitan to rebuild the country.

French immigration flows did increase significantly during the period, but nowhere near post-ww2 era both in absolute term and in percentage of total population.

What if the 3rd Republic, recognizing its population problem, decides to have a completely open border immigration policy, or an immigration policy at least as lax as in post-ww2 France, in order to boost its population?
