I can't help but feel this situation is analogous to the Kashmir situation between India and Pakistan...............
...........where a territory is part of one country and an adjacent country's citizens (who also reproduce faster than the native population) move in and then start screaming for alignment with THEIR native land; they "Democratically" wish to take a vote that will lead ultimately to their joining with their country of origin; and if they are not allowed this vote a terrorist war is started.
