The Send Them Back Where They Came From

France's north African immigrant population is having a difficult time fitting into French society. Unemployment and crime is very high in their neighborhoods. And, for the last few nights, they have rioted in Paris.

"I want these people to be able to live in peace," [French Interior Minister Nicolas] Sarkozy told reporters as he mingled with local residents outside the Seine-Saint-Denis prefecture in Bobigny, which oversees Clichy-sous-Bois.

"For 30 years the situation has been getting worse in a number of neighborhoods," he said.

Sending them home, or at least stemming the flow into France might not make their individual lives more peaceful, but it will make real Parisians life more peaceful.
