Immigrants

I have heard, once again, from my friend in Europe, a lady who is well informed and well educated. She says the problems of today started many years ago when the birth rate in European countries declined to the point where they wanted immigrants and many from various Muslim countries were welcomed. Unlike America, where immigrants tend to blend in to the so called melting pot, the European immigrants stayed in their areas and maintained their language and culture. This led to high unemployment and poverty and in time disillusionment with their situation. Now these people have become easy prey for groups like ISIS and the results are individuals who would rather die for a cause than continue to live as second class citizens. When immigrants come to America they want to stay in their own area and maintain their language and culture but economic pressures forced them to integrate with the general society and many worked their way out of poverty and were able to provide better lives for their children. Even the recent influx of immigrants across our southern border, have recognized that in order to move up the economic ladder they must learn English.
