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.

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.

You Obamahole.
Those who set out--despite their solemn oaths to preserve the Constitution, explicitly dedicated to preserve the Blessings of Liberty to the Founders' posterity--to "change" America--indeed, if you listen to them, to change America beyond recognition;--are hardly the moderates in any debate.

“he called America’s successful record at cultural integration.”
What a complete fool! Yes, America has done such a good job when you call a bank you have to press one for English, an ATM you have 5 different languages to choose from, any State or Federal document is printed in 10 different languages or the Government will provide you an interpreter, and of course I see all of those Muslim communities and Mosque surround by English speaking Amish....
Joe Biden - clueless as always.
5. We can prevent extremism by turning over the country to extremists.
Slo-Joe needs to stick to what he’s proficient at — fondling and sniffing political wives and reporter-ettes.
Well, some of the recent videos I've seen bears asking the question.

This dingbat can’t figure out that we can admit plenty of LEGAL immigrants who have gone to the trouble of jumping through all the hoops to get here. We could control the numbers and, with a closed and secure border, the security of the country would not be compromised like it is now.
