If I were to move to another country (which I never will) I would learn the language, etc. as quickly as possible.

Period.

I never thought I would say this, but it seems that Europeans are becoming more conservative than Americans in many areas. Anybody else see this trend?

They are 20 years too late. Imagine if Brooklyn was Little Arabia and NYC cops couldn’t go in. That’s a reality in many European cities

But many immigrants say they'll be rejected no matter how hard they try to fit in.

Cojochru, the Moldovan nanny and caregiver, hoped obtaining permanent residence would help her bring her two teen children to Italy; they live with her sister in Moldova, where wages are among the lowest in Europe. She was skeptical that the language requirement would encourage integration.

Italians always "see me as a foreigner," an outsider, despite her years in the country and despite her flawless command of the local language, she said.

Lady, you ARE a foreigner. If you truly want to become an Italian, it's not too much to ask that you show you know the language.

Yes, Europe is in deep.

I was watching TV or reading an article and I thought that some European countries actually have 'exclusion zones'. The gist was that if you entered these areas, you do so at your own peril. I believe they stated that these were areas with large Muslim populations.

Have you heard that by any chance?

You ask far too much. Isn't it easier for the immigrant for you to learn his language? After all, in a multicultural society if you manage to communicate with others you might conspire and overthrow the oligarchy.

In my view they don't go far enough. It's time for mass expulsion and making it illegal to have newspapers and tv and radio stations in other languages polluting our airwaves.. The left wing oligarchy wants division so they can makes us all different interest groups they can manipulate. Time to put an end to the scam.

“Svetlana Cojochru,,,from Moldova”.

Im already betting she is so smoking hot it’s retarded. If im right, she should flee to my place immediately and request political asylum.
She can speak her native language to me in the jaccuzzi.

We’ll be so happy.

We have exclusion zones in the United States. Take for instance, southern New Mexico and southern Arizona. The government has even done to the extent to post signs warning people from hiking or camping in these areas. The illegals and drug runners have taken over these areas and it’s pretty sure you will be killed or kidnapped if you wander into what I call “Northern Mexico”.

You are 100% correct. "Northern Mexico', "Atzlan", what's the difference.
