Anyone who has studied the situation of North Africans in France can see that it is a powder keg.

It's a real shame....

My question is, given that France has some of the most liberal social programs in Europe, what do they expect from France? Free health care.. subsidized housing.. official minimum wage of $1200 per month..

They are certainly receiving a better deal from them socio-economically than they would in their country of origin, or even in the US..

So does that mean the US is a "powder keg"? Or might it mean that the more you attempt to buy political loyalty from society with a socialize welfare state, the more they are going to expect and demand from the state, even if via violent means.
