Paying immigrants to go back home?

I'm not eeeeeven gonna comment.

 
Paris to pay immigrants to return
France has said it plans to offer incentives to more immigrants - especially those from Africa - to return home voluntarily.
New Immigration Minister Brice Hortefeux said a family with two children would be paid 6,000 euros (£4,068) to return to their country.

In 2005-2006, a similar scheme was taken up by some 3,000 families.

France is home to about two million immigrants from north and sub-Saharan Africa, according to a 2004 census.

"We must increase this measure to help voluntarily return. I am very clearly committed to doing that," Mr Hortefeux told France's RFI radio.

Mr Hortefeux last week was named immigration minister by newly-elected President Nicolas Sarkozy.

Mr Sarkozy has warned that France "is exasperated by uncontrolled immigration".

France was hit by a series of riots in the immigrant-heavy suburbs in 2005.

Damn straight. Of course, that's violating their human rights, according to the nutcases in the Senate...

We got a similar problem here. A lot of illegals are hiding in churches, with the priests bringing them food. Now, the proper, sane response would be for the police to blow the damned doors down and drag everyone out at gunpoint if needed...they arent doing a damn thing about it. Too much bad PR . Kick em out I say. Hard. We don't need illiterates from every Godforsaken bloody corner of the earth. Some figures say that only about 2% of those who come here are entitled to refugee status...the rest? Moochers, aided by our looters, sorry, government...
