They may attempt to indoctrinate their kids, but the success rate is going to be really low. Third generation immigrants watch Sesame Street and play baseball, same as the rest of us.
Are you willing to bet on the third generation of Arabs & Pakastani's? In several euro countries the second generation is more radical than the first, since they have no memories of the hell their parents fled.

you can't have open borders with a full on welfare state..our system will implode under the overarching pressure of welfare/food stamp/healthcare queens

my son has been working in canada for 4 YEARS earning high 6 figures and is just now getting a FBI BACKGROUND CHECK (after spending over $5k for attorney fees) because....socialist welfare state?

they checked him from his health status to his tax records to a frickin' speeding ticket as a part of his 'permission' to continue working legally and have the privilege of paying in excess of 50% taxes in BC, CA...

you think the major influx of illegals coming to the US are interested in that? not in your dreams...

don't kid yourself....they are coming here for welfare, taxpayer funded healthcare, and will live here forever on the dole because it beats what they can earn by actually working in their second/third world country

even if the second/third gen of 'immigrants' eschew their parents beliefs, they won't look askance at all the immigrant benefits lavished upon them for a lifelong benefit (in exchange for votes)

far more then they would earn by slaving away in their home countries....

they are here for the freebies, and the rest of us are footing the bill
