But the question is; when will the French surrender? A good friend of mine is from France. They won't surrender. France's silent majority is at a boiling point over this and I expect things to get ugly sooner rather than later. Just because the politicians have no backbone don't think the people are the same. The illegal immigration mess in our own country is very similar. Our politicians poo poo it while the people are boiling.

You and a few like-minded pals may be boiling, but "people," in general, are not. And the reason they're not boiling is primarily because "our" illegals a) tend to work for a living, and b) aren't prone to massive rioting.
That's not to say things might not change here ... but the dynamics of our illegal immigration problem are nothing like the problem of the French "yutes."

Think they had big riots so far? Just wait for the day the welfare checks don't arrive

I agree with in that I don’t think the French will surrender. The Europeans may seem like weenies to us now but Europe has a very long history with some pretty ugly parts.
