Schengen or not, the French police regularly arrests Moroccans going through France by bus to Morocco (who thus have no French papers), rounds them up and later sends them by plane to their country. At first they didn't let them keep their luggage ; after a Canard Enchainé piece about that, they let them keep it ; but they had to pay the air company the air fare for 100+ kgs of luggage if they wanted to keep it !

Because Sarkozy requests that the Ministère de l'Identité Nationale, de l'Immigration et de l'Intégration throws out of the country 27,000 people a years. Because that's actually quite a high figure and hard to reach. Because Sarkozy wants the racist voters to keep voting for him.

But it's probably cheap politically... none of this messy due process crap.

The fact is that what we're experiencing right now is a top-down disaster. -Paul Krugman

Well, there's an economy to kickstart. Isn't State spending good now ? and that's money that isn't going to leftist public employees such as teachers.
