france sez "throw em owt!"
2005-11-09
French Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy has ordered the expulsion of all foreigners convicted of involvement in two weeks of urban riots. Sarkozy, who has previously thrown radical Muslim preachers out of the country for breaching French laws, told the National Assembly lower house of parliament on Wednesday that 122 foreigners had been convicted of playing a role in the unrest. "I have asked prefects that foreigners here legally or illegally, who have been convicted (over the unrest) be expelled without delay from our territory," he said of the top government officials who oversee France's 96 administrative districts.

The order would also include those who have a residency permit, Sarkozy said. "For when one has the honor of having a residency permit, the least one can say is that one shouldn't be going around getting arrested for provoking urban violence," he said. Sarkozy did not give the nationalities of any of the foreigners whose expulsion he had ordered, and did not say how many would be expelled.

#7  The problem is that the insurgents are just that, home grown and bred. They were born there and therefore are citizens as any son of Charles Martel. The government and the press keep using the word immigrant because they won't use the world Muslim.

#1  That's insane : Sarko has previously *terminated* a law that precisely allowed the expulsion of such criminals, something even the left hadn't dared to do.
What he ask is now harder to do, if not illegal, due to his own decisions. Is he schyzo?
