Americans are sometimes accused of being ultra-nationalistic, and even sometimes xenophobic. However, we have been so complacent and ambivalent that we allowed in such a large number of illegals we can't even control them.
France now has 175 places they have deemed too dangerous for police to patrol anymore, due to the high concentration of unruly Muslim residents.
Spain gets hordes of illegals from Africa, and they can't even ship them back because their own countries won't accept them.
I remember back in the 1980's, Spaniards still had a swagger about them. They would point towards the English-controlled Rock of Gibraltar, which they claimed was rightfully theirs, and boasted they would get it back, "Por la razon, o por la fuerza" (either by reason, or by force). Now they seem so cowed that one incident in their subway system sent their soldiers scurrying home from Iraq.
Why have countries seem to have lost their desire for self-preservation? What happened to bravery?

Most countries would benefit from mass deportation of illegals and undesirable residents who do not, and will not qualify for citizenship. Why not deport these people?

PC dictates what is done now, rather than reason.
Many nations, esp those closest to the middle east are so fearful of offending because of the repercussions.
I am glad to hear Olcay! People of Islam must stand up against the terrorist who defames their religion.
