Speaking of unchecked immigration, some guy from India (working as a taxidriver and without a valid license) called the Howie Carr show yesterday and said he intended to stay in America and that there was nothing wrong with what he was doing. Howie couldn't get it through his head that he was breaking the law on several points: his illegal stay here, and his violation of workplace and driving rules. He thought he was entitled to stay just because he wanted to! We need to stamp that mentality out, and remind these people that they are guests in our country. We make the rules, not them.
There is a reason Yasser Arafats wife, Suha, and daughter reside in safety and comfort in France. The country is dominated by Arab Muslim immigrants from North African countries--Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. Tunisia, by the way, was home to Arafat and his terrorists for much of his pre-Palestinian Authority exile.
Suha Arafat is Christian. Although some say she renounced Christianity, when she married Yasser, she did have their daughter baptized. This has caused some controversy in the Palestinian Muslim community.
It doesn't make Suha particularly praiseworthy, but the reason she's living in France may be as much to protect her and her daughter from the more radically Islamicist elements, as much as because of the Arab population there.
And politicians never seem to understand why people don't like them or believe them. Are they really that dense?
But closer at hand, we have to reexamine a lot of premises about immigration. And we are already years late in doing so. (See Immigration & The American Future.)
The article is a good article, in that it points out how immigration can change a country's ability to make necessary decisions in its own interest. But I think it is a mistake to focus on the Moslem aspect of immigration. Most American immigration, today, is from Latin America. The point is, that a Nation is not a game of "musical chairs." It matters, it matters terribly, who occupies those chairs. And you do not need to put anyone else down, to assert that you want your neighbors to continue to be those with whom you share a sense of kinship; those who have similar value system, march to a similar tempo, share a common cultural legacy; whose ancestors fought the same battles and won the same victories, whether in war or peace, as your ancestors.

As for her comments on France, I agree with Ohioan that it is far too early to give up on France, as Ms. Schussel seems to have already done. In fact, the very fact that Jean-Marie got 17% more of the corresponding Presidential vote than did Pat Buchanan shows that we could, in fact, learn from France.
"One thing is for sure: in the next 50 to 100 yearsmaybe soonerFrance will become a Muslim nation. Demographics dictate it."
...basically proves that she's completely paranoid when it comes to the muslim "threat:. Her extrapolation on demographics is based on linear (even exaggerated) interpolation on the current trend, which is nonsense. 1st generation immigrants don't have much in common with 3rd generation immigrants. And even if the trend remained the same, her "calculations" are wrong.
Second, in her mind, muslim = radical muslim. In France, this only holds for a minority (albeit a quite disturbing, violent and problematic one).
Third, her comments of Arafat's wife and daughter are ridiculous: they're Christian!
Fourth, the arabs don't control the unions, as she pretends. This is sheer bullshit.
Last, her comments on the abortion pill are in complete disconnection with reality. The abortion rate in France and the use of the RU-486 and others are very low as compared to the rest of the western world.
Really, she's nuts.
lol That's just what I was thinking. I never realized that she was so attractive (in both senses). But let the muslims gain a large enough proportion of the population, and we will have no way of knowing what she or any other women look like.
