And France has had cultural and language protections in place.
Look at Mexico, even they have more. They beat the hell out of the Guatemalans if they cross into Mexico.
"It is a sad day when FRANCE has mores stones in protecting itself and its sovereignty than the USA."
That's true, but it's also true that most of France's immigrants are Moslems who sit around in ghettos collecting benefits with 50% of them unemployed when they aren't rioting. Most of ours are Hispanics who work hard.
I like to think we'd be responding more forcefully if we had Moslems instead of Mexicans.
Well free Dumb, see you are living up to your name.
"If they are cheese-eating surrender monkeys, what does that make us?"
Worse.
Say what you will, the French ruling class has a sense of national identity and care for its citizens. Most of our Ruling classes are set for globalism and wage depression. It juices up their investment returns in the short run.
That's the core concern. Feelings like "tolerance" and "compassion" for others - not other Americans but foreigners - are dealt to make the injury sound better and induce guilt-ridden submission. Left wing has been successfully coopted, running with delusional anti-Bush memes and pet hates distracting them from the core economic issues such as wages, costs and taxes. Some snarky people on the Right have not been assimilated into the collective, but Bush is trying his best. I don't think pointing out to the Left Media that one of their favorite countries, France, is working to help its people will do any good on immigration, opposite to us. They are too wrapped up into Bush Derangement Syndrome, recently enhanced by the tacit and scary realization they are hand in hand with Bush on this issue.
Well since you do not have even clue one about how our system actually works the Free part seems noexistent while the screaming hate and bile, the DUMB part, seems to totally govern you. I suggest you scream less and actually LEARN something. Screaming your utter ignornace of even the simplest facts on how our Immigration system works for all Freepers to see is DUMB. More FREE thought less DUMB ranting please.
I see there is no FREE just DUMB.
Sad truth bump.
Sorry. No. The French legislation includes a path to citizenship, with far fewer hurdles than in the U.S. Senate legislation as currently stands. So it's actually "amnesty" according to the Buchannan/Tancredo crowd.
It does boggle the mind.
