#2 So he's sewn his mouth and eyes shut -- let him starve in darkness, if that's what he wants.

#3 You dont need a big fat grant to figure that one out...it's called capitalism.
Seems to me assimilation and socialism doesnt mix.
Also America has people from many different cultures, religions, etc, assimilating at the same time, so its not a polarized situation like in Europe where most of the immigrants are muslim.
Just my two cents.

#5 The US had its problems when large populations hit the beach, but we worked through it, even though there were some very hard times. Assimilation is not too much of a problem when the immigrant population is controlled and limited. Overwhelm the system and it gets ugly. The Dutch are going to have difficulties dealing with the 26,000 to expel. That idiot with the sewed up mouth and eyes definitely needs to go. People asking for asylum are negotiating from a position of weakness, and depend upon the goodwill of the host country. Making demands as an asylum seeker is really stupid!

#7 The U. S. did it with public schools that hadn't heard of bi-lingual education or the welfare state.

#8 good point Mr.D; plus the fact that our immigrants had no dole to go on and were more then willing to bust their butts for a living. During the civil war, more then a few Irish picked up a musket as soon as they got off the boat to show their patriotism for their new country.

#9 The article says that Yugoslavs, Iraqis and Afghanis comprise a major portion of these asylum seekers. Why can't they all go home now?
