Quote:Well said, or lack of assimilating, if you will.

Agreed, and that is one of the main issues here.  These Muslim immigrants refuse to assimilate to the nations they're relocated to.  They expect the recipient nation to cede to their wishes instead of trying to become part of the mix. 

 

For most of the 20th century, immigrants coming to the United States did so to find a better life.  They wanted to come here to become Americans.  They did everything they could to learn the language and to better understand the American culture.  Even today, most of the immigrants who come into this country want to become Americans.  They aren't sacrificing their heritage or culture, but they're blending with the locals to become part of the cloth that makes up this country.  Many of these Muslim immigrants that you see coming into Europe refuse to assimilate, and the same is true for those coming here.  That is a problem.

 

There are Sharia courts throughout the UK.  There are Muslim areas that are considered no go zones in the UK and throughout Europe.  That is starting to happen here in the US.

 

And it's not just the Muslims who refuse to assimilate.  You're seeing the same trend with illegals coming from Mexico as well.  There is a segment of this population that refuses to learn the language, or assimilate in any way.  Some have gotten to the point where they think that they should be permitted to not only live as if they are in Mexico, but that they are entitled to take areas of the US back as part of Mexico (based on the current state deficit, I'd gladly give them California). 

 

The days of immigrants coming into this country to become American is almost completely gone now, and it's a shame.  America used to be a melting pot.  Now it's divided.
