'France didn't have uncontrolled slums filled with uneducated unemployed Muslim immigrants back then'
A lot of these immigrants would be educated and employed if the despots running their countries (who have the full support and are armed by so-called 'civilized' peoples) were socialist - which is what the people want - but I guess that nationalizing the oil supply would not be in the western powers' interests right?
"Really makes you question wether it's a brilliant idea to change to US immigration policy w/o the resources of that empire.l.l"
Here's a dirty little secret nobody talks about - the US NEEDS cheap labour. When 'Globalization' started (which was nothing but an excuse to ram developed countries goods down the throats of third world nations and steal/own their resources) they came a cropper; their good were too expensive for the developed nations to buy and the third world countries were beating them bot in the price wars and in the quality control department. Plus the powers-that-be made a major mistake: They made the WTO a REAL democracy (every country had a vote each; so the smaller/poorer nations voted en masse against the bigger ones to safeguard their industries - they even co-ordinated their efforts to help each other - why do you think Brazil is so friendly with Iran?) and as a result were outnumbered by their competitors - so the only way for the US to compete was to produce cheap goods themselves - but make sure that the people making the goods worked for slave wages - why do you think Bush wrecked Mexico's economy by signing a free trade agreement with them (ostensibly to allow Mexico access to the USA's markets) but then flooding their markets with cheap Chinese knock offs?
Don't be fooled by politician's talk - talk is cheap. It's their actions that matter. As Jesse Ventura said, "That border they're building around the southern border - no one puts up a border to keep people OUT - borders have only been successful in keeping people IN."
P.S. Speaking of manners, I was living in an Arab country, the U.A.E. and all the Arabs I met had impeccable manners - a far cry from all the so-called 'civilized' people from western countries living there who would whine, complain and generally behave in an ungrateful manner despite being handsomely remunerated - as well as demanding that certain amenities provided to them were exactly like their home countries - while expecting foreigners to adopt THEIR customs when THEY visit their countries! I even spent time in some European capitals where the locals were at beat, stand-offish, and at worst, rude to the point of being hostile. Basically if you're not providing them with YOUR hard earned cash - you're useless to them. I suppose that the ONLY people who are polite in these western countries are prisoners - they'll thump you otherwise!
