what this has to do with Bush's border policy? Everything!
The French imported foreign workers when there was a great need for cheap labor. (same as TX and CA) when the economy tanked, the French found they had massive unemployment in the Muslim gettos with no answer in sight. If you don't think it can happen here, think again. In Texas, we already have DRUG CARTELS operating in Dallas, TX., Ft.Worth Star-Telegarm last Sunday did a series of articles on the fact that the horific Colonias once thought to be only on the TX/Mexican border were here in the Ft.Worth-Dallas area--communities designed to accomodate 300 families now contain 5,000. Sewers backing up, shallow water wells contaminated with people drinking heir own sewage, a city's water supply also contaminated with high levels of e-coli, anchor babies now having more babies, no fathers, all on welfare, many families living together in crowded mobile homes, etc, etc. When all this is going to get better for these poor people is anyone's guess. How long before they too, get desperate enough to riot is also anyone's guess. You might pray for our economy.

You are comparing illegal immigration of Mexicans in the U.S. with a 5% unemployment rate to legal immigration of Muslims in France with a 10%+ employment rate.
I'm sorry, but the word "immigration" is the only correlation there.
The big difference is that Mexicans are not Muslim, and that most of them work and want to return to Mexico.
However, we need to do something to get control of the situation with illegals, who are an enormous tax burden (particularly now that they can receive all the services and perks of legal immigrants). I am in favor of a guest worker program, which was in effect until it was destroyed by LBJ as a favor to Cesar Chavez and the labor unions.
Incidentally, France (and England) had many, many Spanish and Greek immigrant workers until about 30 years ago. The difference was that they worked for a living (the Muslims live on welfare), most of them wanted to go back home when they retired - and they weren't Muslim.
