Let's not get into slamming this religion or that, if you please.

I agree that immigration is not our top problem. The US has always absorbed its immigrants one way or another, and the new blood will eventually be a mainstay in funding Social Security.

I also agree that non-Islamic immigrants will be easier to assimilate for various reasons. But my experiences in the Netherlands indicated that in a generation or two, their Muslim immigrants will have been raised in a Dutch environment and fit in pretty well. Probably can't say the same about France, however.
