In retrospect that's one of the scarier things about the internal rot of Western Civilization, that in Europe it's the third and fourth generations which tend to provide more recruits for the radicals.

Yeah, actually you are right. In retrospect that’s one of the scarier things about the internal rot of Western Civilization, that in Europe it’s the third and fourth generations which tend to provide more recruits for the radicals.

The French are serious about ending illegal immigration -- they just enacted a law permitting the jailing of illegals up to eighteen months. And the illegal immigrants they do have -- mainly from non-EU European states (Romania, Bulgaria, etc.) don't come with the propensity for homicide that we get with our illegals from Central America.
