it was unfortunately done for the best of motives
&&&&
I was just addressing Britain’s situation, not the motives. Britain is caught in such a bind with disaffected “asians” because of history. We are more fortunate in America, not to have such an entrenched social welfare system (although dem legislators have tried their best to institute it).
Also we have had a much smaller classification of immigrants “entitled” to entry.
So the majority of immigrants to America, even those of muslim faith, have adopted the American outlook on capitalism and want to get rich, just like non-muslim Americans. We have plenty of ‘disaffected youth’ but I don’t believe that the number or ratio is anywhere close to the rate in the UK.
Sorry if it came across that I thought you were addressing the motives I realised that it was the situation you were addressing and I agree with you it has created this situation.
I do wonder though if in the future America may have a similar problem especially if they allow a large amount of Afghan's and Iraqis in hopefully they will heed the lesson learned in Britain and not repeat our errors or will closely vet those they let in. Often those coming in for economic reason rather than what would be classed as true refugee status are in fact more likely to cause less trouble because they are coming purely to work and earn money. Sad but true but the refugee normally has issues with the country that is taking them in because often it is the country that has caused them to have the refugee status in the first place that takes them in.
