Actually, France is moving in a similar direction as well:

"As for the changes proposed, foreigners wishing to bring their spouses and children to France will be required to prove that they can support their family. Immigrants will also be required to take a test on the French language and the values of French society. If an applicant fails, they will be required to take a two month course before going back for approval.

In addition, parents will be required to sign a contract that they will integrate their children into French society."
