In this study, the discourse of the National Rally (RN - Rassemblement National) in France will be analyzed through Critical Discourse Analysis. The main question of empirical analysis is: How does RN use anti-immigration themes as discursive strategies? While trying to answer the main question of the study, three main strategies; referential/nomination strategies, predication strategies and argumentation strategies were shown. At the same time, not only at the discursive level, but also the practices that support the discourse are tried to be addressed. In the empirical analysis, newspapers, party’s official websites, published academic books and articles, party programs, public speeches and social media discourses were examined in detail. In this framework, we examined how RN constructs social reality with the exclusionary discursive practices. In this study, France has been selected to in order to carry out a comprehensive examination of profile of the rise of anti-immigrants in Europe since September 11, 2001. RN's achievements in national and local elections and Le Pen in presidential elections were effective in the election of France. Through discursive strategies, RN has labeled immigrants as the source of problems and the other of their own society.
