As Europe has a vast Arab immigration and we here in the US do not have so many Arabs I can understand how that is an important matter in your part of the world. We here have a very large Hispanic immigration and even though that is not without its problems I think our assimilation problems are much less severe than yours over there. And I hope we keep it that way and I think we will as I see a great many encouraging signs. Deportations are way up, especially to places where there have never been deportations before, even Europeans. Most small nations, especially those in the third world do a pretty good job controling their borders and I think that we here in the US have a way to go to get up to the standards of say Belize, Panama or the Philippines but with work I know we can do it, indeed there is much progress being made already.
