I'd tend to disagree. I'd say the peak of immigration was during the late 60's, mostly 70's, at least as for when the workers started to bring their families :

Most immigration into Frace in the 50's was of Spanish and Portuguese origins, I think.

I forgot to describe the first graph : it's the number of babies named Mohamed each year in France. I'm older than most French Mohameds, obviously...

What happened since 1996?

Ali is showing a somewhat similar curve. Considering there has been 26 years since the first peak of mohammeds, I guess this could be the "next generation" of mohammeds ; but then, there also seems to have been a rise of immigration from the Maghreb starting in the late nineties, still rising in 2003, that could also link to it.

Most of the immigration since then has been workers bringing in their families - usually young, child-bearing age women (and young kids).
