Biden: Including immigrants key to stopping extremism in US
Boston Herald / AP ^ | 2-17-2015

The United States must ensure that immigrants are fully included in the fabric of American society to prevent violent ideologies from taking root at home, Vice President Joe Biden said Tuesday as he opened a White House summit on countering extremism and radicalization.

Joining local elected officials, community leaders and religious figures, Biden portrayed the U.S. as far better positioned than Europe, thanks to what he called America's successful record at cultural integration. He said societies must offer immigrants an "affirmative alternative" to extremism, cautioning that military force alone could not address the threat.

Across the Atlantic, deadly terrorist attacks in France, Belgium and Denmark have left Europeans feeling vulnerable to the type of violent ideology promoted by the Islamic State group and once thought to be confined mostly to the Middle East and North Africa.

"National security flows from a sense of community," Biden said, adding that the most important lesson the U.S. can learn is that "inclusion counts."

Because Mexicans and Somalis and Turks and Syrians and Iraqis have done so much to stop extremists in their own countries...

on big difference is that Europe has mostly Islamics immigrating. they don’t integate into Western,Christian societies, they amass their strength and forces to disrupt and eventually take over

whereas in USA, we have mostly Mexican/Latino immigrants. I KNOW there will be some negative postings in response to this, but for THE MOST PART these people do try to live peaceably in USA

the big unmentioned problem is that Obama is bringing in or letting in a ton of ‘immigrants’ from IslamoNazi countries right into America... here.. our cities towns and villages

this will blow up in our faces, albeit after Obama has left office (assuming he does)

I believe that’s called a parasite.

That’s rich coming from the democrat party. The party that caters to ever whim of immigrants ensuring they remain segregated from American society. Press 1 for Spanish. Publishes voting pamphlets in 50 languages. AND who invented the stupid hyphenated Americans? DEMOCRATS and idiots like slow Joe.

We are being governed by the veriest fools that have every trod this planet.

They are colonizing. They are foreign funded (although they will take state handouts as well).

Great, so that means the government will, starting immediately, cease to provide services in languages other than English, stop providing religious “accomodation” for certain middle-Eastern religions at schools, universities and government facilities, stop providing “assistance” to those who do not follow the legal immigration requirements, and shut down all the cultural outreach programs and related facilities, right?

Right?

Because as Biden says, we have to have these people “fully included” in society, which would mean no longer enabling them in maintaining cultural beliefs that set them apart from American society, right?

Conclusions we can expect from Obama's "extremism summit":

1. We can prevent extremism by not only granting illegals amnesty but giving them voter ID cards;

2. We can prevent extremism by raising the debt ceiling;

3. We can prevent extremism by making gay marriage a constitutionally garaunteed right;

4. We can prevent extremism by voting the GOP out of congress.

They’re coming to take me away, ha haaa,
They’re coming to take me away, hoo hooo

If we ever accept their blither, we are a lost cause. I won’t be on the faculty of the re-education camps.

What a naive Idiot.
Does Biden believe a Muslim is going to culturally integrate into an Infidel society.
They would have to give up their religion to do that. -Tom

No doubt in my mind that you are right.

I think of it like a woman losing her virginity, she can't get it back; but life will go on.
But life will be different, and so will this country be different. - Tom

That's the nugget right there that nobody wants to acknowledge.

Islam is incompatible with Western Civilization.
