I married one of the "Youths" who parents were Immigrants from a Muslim Country.
You can bet Family Reunions can be awkward, because the Majority of Leena's family (especially her parents) HATE everything Western.

They DO NOT want jobs, non-discrimination or any of the crap they use for sympathy. They simply want subjugation to Islam.
Cheap ‘immigrant’ labor - used to prop up socialism - isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. On the lighter brighter side, the French bought into ‘if it feels good, do it’ and they’re NOT having children. Which means in a hundred years the ‘immigrants’ WILL BE the French. Or living on the land we once called France...
