[QUOTE="montignac, post: 507775, member: 24444"] I have no problems with families fleeing war zones trying to get better lives, but single men who are just trying to enter illegally for money should be rounded up like the criminals they are and sent back. With regard to Paris, my French friends said that as far as they were concerned the problem stemmed from in their opinion 2 causes:= 1. Too many immigrants who will not accept or respect the French way of life. 2. The west sticking their noses into other countries affairs without a clue as to how those people live. I have two sons who served in the army and went to Iraq and Afghanistan. Both have agreed that The Brits and Americans had no idea what to do after Saddam was toppled. The West had no idea about not only the different religious factions but also tribal factions. However brutal Saddam was he kept a lid on this. Once gone and the fears he instilled were replaced by "freedom" the extremists could prosper and as Churchill once said but now turned against us "We sowed the wind and will reap the whirlwind". France did not support the war in Iraq as they understood the potential problems if there was nothing in place as to what would happen after Saddam had gone, nor did they believe the so called weapons of mass destruction blurb but the US and the UK knew best and we in Europe are suffering and will continue to suffer.
