#1 This is pure window dressing, Sark and co are trying to "look tough" on that matter.

Basing on an article I read, official immigration (that is, not counting the illegals) went from 192.000 in 1999 to 341.000 in 2003, the bulk or it being non-workers brought by "family reunion" (173.000 in 2003), plus asylum seekers (80.000) and students (55 000), most of which stay in France whatever.
Economical immigration, ie workers, to which thoses quota would apply concerned only 6500 in 2003.

French immigration is not a work immigration like in the USA, but a settlement immigration, period, as acknowledged recently by the gvt (Sarkosy IIRC), only 5% of it can be considered a work immigration, the rest living off social redistribution.

There is at the very minimum a 300 000 immigration each year (counting the illegals), the higher end being 400 000+. There are 750 000 birth, an estimated 30-35% of which being from non-european parents. Newly arrived "settlers" tend to have an higher birthrate than in their own native country, having access to parental subsidies and free medecine.
In 2003, only 17% of the illegals expulsions were effectively carried out.

You do the calculation.

For thoses who can read french, an excellent article by Maxime Tandonnet, an immigration specialist :

#2 Future French history books will read as follows:
"...Dominique de Villepin, the infidel prime minister who was a man..."
