| Krauthammer: Europe suffers from assimilation and integration failure 30 years ago (Fox Video) |
| 2017-06-07 |
| [TheRightScoop] Krauthammer says that the reason they [Europe] have so many terror attacks is that Europeans don’t allow Muslims to integrate into their society the way we do. Tucker Carlson doesn’t see it that way ‐ he thinks we’re just 30 years separated from European terror attacks. Both views have some merit, but I think Krauthammer is arguing from a basis of reason applied to observation, while Carlson is going by what his populist ideology can sell to his gullible audience. |

| #6 Western Europe is artificially contracepting itself into extinction. All of this is window dressing. No babies = no future. The US isn't far behind them, maybe 50 years. |

| #5 JQC, pretty much all Kraut here, first one about 1880 the rest by 1910. Maternal side kept more German traditions including a brew master but they all left cause the economy sucked in Germany. Not one regretted the move but then they were all very young when they got here. |

| #4 Charles Krauthammer comes awfully close to blaming the victim. No Mr Anonymous blogger he does not. When European governments first began to embrace Multiculturalism critics warned of the predictable social downsides. And BTW, those admonitions were not exclusive to Muslim populations. As the enclaves began to multiply and those premonitions began to materialize any criticism was met fiercely with false allegations of bigotry. And given the trajectory resulting from the decades of Socialist Justice in the US Carlson's warning may develop even sooner than he predicted. |

| #3 Alan C: My family were Irish immigrants, my mother's family Polish. My wife's family immigrated from Europe after going through the Holocaust in Europe. I have often hear my mother-in-law say she loves this country. They all had to learn English, have a sponsor, and have the promise of a job. Immigration and assimilation did work with the culture from which they came--not so much with the current Islamic culture. |

| #2 Assimilation and integration works just fine IF THE IMMIGRANTS WANT IT TO!!!!! The basis for the melting pot in which my grandparents were stewed was that they knew that they were leaving a bad situation and moving to a good situation and that it was up to them to make it work. Now they come here and feel entitled to other people's hard earned rewards. No assimilation or integration required. |

| #1 Krauthammer always has a way intellectualizing these things. Assimilation and integration is a complete friggin waste of effort. |
