...The man wasn't satisfied with McCain's answer. He asked McCain why the U.S. couldn't execute large-scale deportations, as he had heard they did in France and other countries.On the one hand, one might think he's saying that mass deportations would lead to mass rioting. Then again, he's refering to being "relegated to ghettos", which is similar to the talking point of "illegal aliens in the shadows". So, I don't think he's saying we'd only have rioting if we tried mass deportations, but that we could have that if we have large numbers of people living in "ghettos" of some kind.
The question seemed to pique McCain.
"In case you hadn't noticed, the thousands of people who have been relegated to ghettos have risen up and burned cars in France," McCain said. "They've got huge problems in France. They have tremendous problems. The police can't even go into certain areas in the suburbs of Paris. I don't want that in the suburbs of America."
