France Says It Will Deport Foreigners for Rioting - New York Times
The expulsion measure, which affects even those foreigners living in France legally, was greeted with applause when it was announced at the National Assembly today by Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, a spokesman for the minister said. It appeared to be aimed primarily at youths of North African and sub-Saharan African descent who have been involved in nearly two weeks of disturbances across France.
Expelling rioters seems like a shortsighted solution to the problems that caused the riots.
