France Forces Thousands of Immigrants to Leave

We're seeing more of this around the world.

The amnesty granted by French Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy for illegal immigrants has expired.

To date, 30,000 people have applied for the amnesty. However, after careful review, only 6,924 were entitled to stay in France. French authorities notified the remaining 23,000 illegal immigrants to leave the country within one month. Thousands of Turkish families who were notified of the deportation order are now considering their options with great concern. Interior Minister Sarkozy has demanded that governors accelerate the deportation process.
