History is my speciality! Marie Antoniette asked: "Why are all those poor people revolting?" Someone explained: "They don't have bread to eat." Marie Antoniette replied: "Why don't they eat brioche, then?" The kids are not revolting for freedom. They wanted bread! Those kids they want jobs. They want to have money to buy cars and take girls out. That's why they burn the cars. Because they can't have one to drive. They want to buy MQ's latest Nokia phone. They want to buy TJ gold and give to the girls. The usual stuff. If they get a job in a meat packing factory, the French can treat them badly, (until he is disembowelled, cut into pieces and left frozen) as a result the youngsters get respect. It's been like that! let the cart run that the pumpkins arrange themselves. Treat those kids well and let them not have bread (cars, latest mobile phones, money to gett he girls out and you see what happens. Mass migration is not smoething you micromanage: Take the US for instance: The enterpriisng Italians Jews and Irish, they didn't revolt, they just constituted the Mafia and get down to business. Once there was jobs the new generations became normal.

The Chinese migrant doesn't know what took to make those countries they are in! They were forged a fire and iron! They made by tough men. Not by do gooders. It was difficult to create wealth and leave a sctock of capital for the next generations. Since you like history as I do. Read how the Robber Barons built the US. A glance at it: Homestead strike The Homestead Strike was a bloody labor confrontation lasting one-hundred and forty-three days in 1892, one of the most serious in the history of the United States. The conflict was situated around Carnegie Steel's main Homestead, Pennsylvania plant, and grew out of disputation between the National Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers of the United States and the Carnegie Steel Company. Carnegie, who had cultivated a pro-labor image in his dealings with company mill workers, departed the country for a trip to his Scottish homeland before the unrest peaked. In doing so, Carnegie left mediation of the dispute in the hands of his associate and partner Henry Clay Frick. Frick was well known in industrialist circles as maintaining staunch anti-union sensibilities. The company had attempted to cut the wages of the skilled steel workers; when the workers refused the pay cut, management locked the union out (therefore, the confrontation was actually a "lockout" by management and not a "strike" by workers). Frick brought in thousands of strikebreakers to work the steel mills and Pinkerton agents to safeguard them. The arrival (on the 6th of July) of a force of three hundred Pinkerton detectives from New York City and Chicago resulted in a fight in which about ten men were killed. To restore order, Pennsylvania Governor Robert Pattison discharged two brigades of the state militia to the strike site. Then, purportedly in response to the fight between the striking workers and the Pinkertons, anarchist Alexander Berkman attempted to murder Henry Clay Frick with a gun provided by Emma Goldman. However, Frick was only wounded and the violent assault turned public opinion away from the striking workers. Afterwards the company successfully resumed operations with non-unionized immigrant employees in place of the Homestead plant workers, and Carnegie returned stateside
