France along with the rest of the EU needs to make changes when it comes to immigration. I would not have supported Le Pen or her nutty father but she got close with 37% of the vote. France is in a mess, it's open border policy is just crazy. Ghetto's that are no go areas are just breeding grounds for terrorists.

 

Don't compare guys sneaking across the US Mexico border with the same type of immigration that the EU is dealing with, believe me it is getting scary over this way.

It is worrysome.  It is like the west has forgotten the hardest lessons of the 20th Century and would rather roll back to the 13th

I agree, Islamism worries me too.

The twitterverse bots are out in full swing spinning this as a defeat for French patriotism and a success for pro-islamists.  Problem is   those are bots

That's exactly who these people are. The Islam problem didn't happen in Europe without their blessings. Add onto that globalists and their cronies in the EU who were also against French sovereignty and it's a pretty funny alliance the left wish to make. Politics of desperation sure makes strange bedfellows.

All the backlash to Trump's immigration policy, honestly for those of you who have never visited France or Belgium and at the moment on a smaller scale my own country. Take a visit and see these ghetto's, these people don't want to integrate and the local police forces struggle to enter. Their wish is to form a smaller country within your own borders and police it themselves with no outside influence. It's easy to say yes to open borders when you have not fully witnessed the destruction that goes with it.

Even if they are not bots, they are just ignorant people in general. The French have rejected the rise in nationalism that threatened the foundations of their country. Today democracy wins. Today Europe wins.

Then you take the next batch of immigrants from the middle east on your doorstep and see if your opinion changes down the road. 

 

There is nothing ignorant about wanting to be safe from people who don't want to assimilate within a democratic country.

The no-go zones in France and Belgium are often the result of gangs, according to news sources such as Reuters. It seems that the alt-right media took the concept and expanded it into a fear mongering campaign, associated with certain Muslim and Jew neighborhoods in Europe. Don't fall for that.

I agree with you there is nothing ignorant about wanting to be safe, but that is not the topic at hand here. In the case of the fear mongering being waged by the alt-right in Europe, the case is of ignorance, pure and simple.
