US & FRANCE--some comparisons to peruse

In the US, our immigrants, legal and illegal, are for the most part friendly. In France this is not the case. In the US, immigrants both legal and illegal, have opportunities--in France this is not the case. In the US young folks out of college may have little or no job security but what they achieve in life can be breathtaking. In France young folks are looking for guarantted for life jobs, and early retirement--the latter may begin for many, before they get their first job given the rate of unemployment.
In the US the immigrant issue will eventually be settled with this 11 year waiting period, fines, border enforcement etc. What the anti-illegal immigrants often forget is that the children of the workers born in the US are AUTOMATICALLY US citizens under US law. Many of the protesters are those kids who dont want to see their parents and grandparents getting the boot. In France, there is likely to be a brutal civil war in some ways resembling algeria of the 50s. The French will win it but war crimes will be committed if one judges war crimes by the strict standards imposed here by the left.
