We have problems with spanish-speaking immigrants right now. Are they going to learn English or do we have to learn Spanish?

The EU has two pressures. The eurocrats who want to erase anything but loyalty to the EU over any "nation" AND immigrants who want to remake all EU in their third world image.

The French National soccer team at the recent Euro 2004 tournament was made up of immigrants (mostly African), with the exception of goalie Fabien Bartez.

From what I understand about the demographic situation in many European countries its not a question of if there will be a Muslim majority but a question of when. Lets face it Europe is a lost cause. What could not achieved by force of arms is now being achieved by immigration, high birth rates, with the help of a self-hating elite who are so cowardly as not to defend Europe's culture and historical legacy.

Trust me when I say that the US is blessed with the immigrants we have. Most are Christian, westernized, and family oriented. Only a fool, or an old person, in any country would not want to learn English. What we have are a generation of bi-lingual children. Only a fool wouldn't want to encourage bi-lingual knowledge for their children.

On local Dallas area radio the other day, I clicked through a loud Mexican music station where a local group leader was being interviewed in Spanish. It was fascinating and I listened for a while. Both guys would talk in Spanish and then lapse into English to cover points that, I guess, weren't as clear in Spanish. It is common for a Spanish speaker to lapse into English to identify locations but these guys went far beyond that. It demonstrated to me the the Mexicans will integrate into US culture (assuming the leftists who dream about classism, allow it to continue) just like all other ethnic minorities have.

The Eurinal resoning has always escaped me because it means the same kind of melting pot that we have. The first major step was the money, abandoning national currencies for some currency that will make bribery easier. The greeks abandoned money mentioned in the bible for Euros. The Germans have planned this to take over Europe without a shot being fired this time.

Investor's Business Daily? Thats progress.

Five years ago, heck THREE years ago, tackling such a topic would've been considered a hate crime.

an aging population that must be supported by younger workers. On the other, they're learning they can't simply trust new arrivals to fit in.

It's a risky strategy.  It reminded me of  Mexico's policy toward American immigrants into Texas in the 1820's.

Who Are They? (Are European nations losing their "identity"?)

Who are the faceless, emasculated europpeens ground down by fifty years on one side by gramscian attacks on their morality and on the other by the brain-numbing regulation of the socialist bureaucrats?

Why, the long expected arrival of the Grey Goo no less! putty in the hands of the socialist elites, which unfortunately won't have the grey goo to protect them from the islamic beast that is about to slit their throats...
