Is one automatically a citizen if born in France (ala the U.S), or are children of non-citizens also non-citizens? IOW, just because these rioters may be 2nd generation, does that make them French citizens?
"devient automatiquement français, l'enfant qui est né en France ; pour l'enfant né en France de parents étrangers"
Every child born in France and living in France is automatically french.
Never mind. I saw the answer further down thread.
