1.8 million visas issued to Muslims yearly. You are right to be concerned. From an earlier LindyBill post: Gratuitous Immigration Watch [Mark Krikorian] The State Department has announced the results of the egregious Visa Lottery for the coming fiscal year (see here, item G). This is the program that admits up to 50,000 people at random from any country in the world other than the top senders of immigrants — 6.4 million people applied, up from 5.5 million last year. Originally cooked up by Ted Kennedy et al. as a way to amnesty Irish illegal aliens, about one-third of winners are now Muslims. The program is a security disaster waiting to happen — I spelled out some of its drawbacks here. Any presidential candidate who called for its elimination (and without just reassigning the visas to another category) would get some instant credibility with immigration hawks. corner.nationalreview.com

I've heard that the UK is being inundated by Muslims. I'm currently down in New Zealand on vacation (visiting friends and enjoying some great fishing) and have talked to several immigrants here who have left the UK. Without exception, they all say that the UK is being destroyed. As one guy I talked to yesterday put it, the United Kingdom is no longer united and Great Britain is no longer great. He moved here last year with his wife and two kids. My friends here have numerous relatives still in the UK and they all want to get out. So sad that what was once a great country is now on a fast track downhill. I've also met some people here who have immigrated from South Africa who say that rampant crime in that country is driving many to leave. Don't know much about that situation but found thier opinions interesting. These folks are not racists either. IMO, US borders needs to bang shut and only those who are willing to assimilate and share western values should be let in. All this touchy feely multi cultural crap is a recipe for disaster down the road. I don't think that most Americans want to follow the UK and others on that route (at least I hope not...)
