Islam in Europe: perception and reality

[scoobysnack]

So, when you say stop letting everyone in...

What are you proposing? Cut down in general on immigration numbers? Or use some new criteria? Stop immigration completely?

I understand you're trying to say "let less terrorists in", and ideally we would all want that. But there's the very obvious problem is that we don't know who they are. So what actual strategy would help?

It's so complicated, and like I said there is no easy fix. I'm looking at the UK regulations now since I don't live there and don't really know what their laws are to begin with:  https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration-rules

In the US we have rules for legal immigration:  https://www.uscis.gov/laws/laws-regulati...nality-act

For example for legal immigrants we have a naturalization test on English and government civics. This prepares immigrants to be civil minded and speak english which is the national language to help them better to assimilate into our culture for both their benefit and the current citizens. I would say Europe should adopt something similar if they do not already.

Problem is with illegal immigration, they skip all that, don't pay anything to get in, and instead just come in undercut citizens for cheap labor and create disorder in economies. Yes they are human beings who really just desire a better life, but there needs to be some order to the situation.

Then there is the refugee settlement program where people can apply for asylum from countries at war. Word is they are already letting in Syrian refugees this year, giving them social security numbers and section 8 housing, all while keeping the state governors out of the loop. ISIS is already here in teh US, and in Europe. Just a matter of time before we start seeing suicide bombings here, likely to start this summer. Unfortunately it's going to take a few attacks before people really start supporting less immigration. No body cares about the IT work being brought in through the visa program from India, because they are valuable people. The refugees still have value as humans, but it's going to be a charitable effort to support them.
