This seems to be a basic difference between immigration into the US and immigration into Europe. Every ethnic group which has arrived in waves in the US has made efforts withing a generation to assimilate into the culture. Once again, the issue seems to come down to religion.
I agree but theres afew other differences.
The test for entrance into the US is more stringent. They have to be able to speak English and actually know quite abit about the country to pass.
People in the US are less forgiving when it comes to dangerous cultural differences. If someone in the US performs an honor killing they go down for life.
I think finally its respect. Its not that the US has an overwhelming amount of respect from its migrants, its that the UK has none. Getting into this country is a joke and we make every effort to accommodate those who get in illegally but yes, we respect their religion more than we respect our laws.
If a country gives you official citizenship you should make damn sure you conform to that countries way of doing things like an actual citizen. They don't. Theres no pressure to. Its why London is factionized, divided among cultural and religious lines.
