France has closed dozens of mosques and bulldozed the camp at calais, we haven’t closed a single one.
Not to mention the fact that Le Pen's party was making big inroads in France while anything along similar lines was condemned in the US, even by "conservatives."
The will is there to do something about it, France just needs to get rid of the milquetoast Hollande and replace him with someone of character just as Germany needs to replace Merkel.
