Washington -- Immigration to the United States from the Middle East has been so heavy in recent years -- and is expected to continue at such high levels -- that it is likely to have significant political and social implications here, some demographers and other experts say.

Wow. This is really good news isn't it? Even better news is that probably only one in a hundred or so of these immigrants is a terrorist.

[Honorary Serb]

Whether they are terrorists or not, islam has the goal of WORLD DOMINATION!!!! A large number of muslims in the US constitutes a fifth column that will subvert us in many ways, some terrorist, some not.

The movement of large numbers of muslims into the US SHOULD be used as an argument for limiting immigration!!!! And there are other reasons to limit it as well. Europe, too, should beware the even LARGER numbers of muslims moving into their countries!!!!

Stop the madness!

"Zogby and Camarota also agreed that one of the likely effects of having more Muslim immigrants voting in U.S. elections is that U.S. foreign policy toward the Middle East would probably become less tilted toward Israel."

Muslim's have not come here to intermarry with infidels. It seems their purpose is to make money and work to change the political view about Israel. Forget assimilation or respecting other people's viewpoints. Do you think any of these new American citizens would fight for the freedom that they came here to use? Our immigration policy is hugely flawed. It appears that Muslim's haven't immigrated and assimilated into any country without ripping them apart politically.

Great--instead of siding with a democratic nation that shares our traditional values of Western civilization we'll get to support a bunch of dictators and wild-eyed fanatics (Turkey being the only exception to Islamic countries). What a great idea!

Suicide.

But, our Fearless Leaders will NEVER speak out against it. In fact, they ENCOURAGE it.

Ultimately, we're doomed, because we don't recognize who the enemy is.

[Guillermo]

Lefties side with terrorists if they're up against righties.

You don't know how many times i've read (In left wing forums) "There's no difference b/w a fundamentalist Muslim and a Fundy (Christian). Or, "Who's better, the Southern Baptists or Muslims"?

[B4Ranch]

Our leaders are our most dangerous enemy.

So far in this election year, being tied to the Muslims has meant electoral defeat. Earl Hilliard, incumbent congressman, was defeated on his anti-Jew, anti-Israeli, pro-Arab views and Cynthia McKinney may soon follow him. Two incumbent congressmen being defeated is a big deal. Congressmen have a higher rate of re-election than the Supreme Soviet did.

"The anti-immigration groups have risen up and discovered they can use the Muslim bogieman to try to achieve their objective," said James Zogby, President of the Arab American Institute..."It begins with the assumption Muslims are scary [and] a danger to America."

MEMO TO JAMES ZOGBY: The truth of the matter is Muslims ARE a "danger" not only to America, but to the world. Now get your army of "bogeymen" the hell out of our country -- you're not welcome. Your people have contributed nada, zilch, nothing in the past in the name of America, and will continue to contribute nothing but dissent and an ever threatening retributive anti-Americanism in the name of "Allah".

America is sick and tired of becoming but a vessel to be exploited by those who disrespect our traditions, heritage and sovereignty.

"Their successful integration is more important than people had realized in the past," said Steven Camarota, who wrote the report for the group.

Important for whom?

[Mr. Mojo]

Our leaders are our most dangerous enemy.

Amen to that.....but WE THE PEOPLE elect our leaders, so our most dangerous enemy is looking straight at us in the mirror.

[tenderstone jr.]

This is the result of Ted Kennedy's immigration laws. As 'family reunification' kicks in, the number of Muslim immigrants will continue to rise.

[Mr. Mojo]

America is sick and tired of becoming but a vessel to be exploited by those who disrespect our traditions, heritage and sovereignty.

Evidently not. We persist in electing politicians who care more about securing immigrants as voters than about our traditions, heritage, and sovereignty. Partisan politics trumps ethics.

What is that old phrase about "getting the camel's nose under the tent"? Once the camel gets in, what happens to the tent?

[richardthelionheart]

Our future rulers! Nothing can stop Islam except hitting Mecca and sterilizing them! They are going to take over the world!

[B4Ranch]

I have made a sincere determination to never again vote for an incumbant. That doesn't matter whether I like him/her or not. People change too much for me when they begin to think they are powerful leaders.
