And by crap, you mean rundown because nobody can pay the rent let alone own a home, the niceness having turned to dirt and bars on windows to protect against thieves that can no longer get a meager salary to afford the basics and healthcare and let alone stay sane? You know poverty is not because of peoples cultures its because this countries government has turned everyones life to slavery and debt, so drugs and drink become the only vacation. Yah, its a mess, no exaggeration.
It is all part of the plan. We have been played.

I live in California over a half a century. This state is migrant central for all cultures and nationalities.
We have assimilated large communities of Latino, Vietnamese, Chinese and Indians (India), to name a few. California hasn't self destructed.
Assimilation doesn't happen overnight, it takes time.
What does happen right way is locals clamoring loudly about foreigners…
Well hells bells member states of NATO, you destroyed their respective countries, what'd you expect?
I think you will find more than a few people who will argue whether California has self destructed or not... It lost a lot of its luster over the years and it doesn't look like it is getting any shinier any time soon.

Uh huh...embarrassing...
(emphasis added)
Hungarian police say a Syrian man has been placed under preliminary arrest suspected of taking part in a riot on the border with Serbia, entering the country illegally and being a member of a group used as a front by Islamic extremists.
Police said Tuesday that the 39-year-old resident of Cyprus identified only as Ahmed H. was detained and questioned on Sept. 19.
Police said the suspect acknowledged being at the Roszke 2 border crossing during clashes in which Hungarian police used water cannons and tear gas to drive back migrants trying to break through a gate on the border.
Police said it had been informed through international law enforcement cooperation that the suspect is a member of Tabligh Jamaat, which it claims is "a cover organization used by terrorist groups to get radical people into certain target countries."

You have done a lot backpaddeling in this thread,starting with claims that Germany is under siege,hoards of muslim men raping and pillaging to end it with one guy getting arrested in Hungary because he is linked to a radical organisation. No one on this thread,including myself, has ever claimed that there are no fringe elements among hundreds of thousands refugees,but you cant judge hundreds of thousands by the actions of a few. Thats like if i told you that all you americans are gun toating savages everytime someone shoots up a school,movie theater or a church. Would that be fair ?

I will tell you a secret....The secret to America's greatness...and yes, we are still great despite all our warts, flaws and issues..all of which our democracy demands we shout about as loudly as possible.
Thousands of years ago smith's that knew the secret of steel where considered near magicians.
Their knowledge decided the fates of wars and nations.
Alloys are stronger than pure metal. Steel is stronger than Iron. It is in the mixture, the diversity, that greater strength derives.
That is why America has always been strong.
That is why we have always been leading innovation in the world.
That is why we are called the "Melting Pot"...Because an alloy is stronger than steel.
We have always been a nation of people fleeing other countries..
or as Bill Murray put it in the Movie Stripes
"That means that our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world. We are the wretched refuse. We're the underdog. We're mutts!"
It was the rest of the worlds drive to "Purify" and homogenize their nations...in ethnicity, religion, politics etc. that led to the USA. The surprise was that in less than 150 years we became the most powerful force on planet earth.
That is why we say...
“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”
It is not some liberal idea...it is not just a moral statement...it is a strategy that has made the USA the most powerful nation in the world (yes...warts and all).
Poor, tired, hungry?....Grit, hard working, tough as nails.
Huddled masses? Yearning to breathe free?....Grateful, dedicated, patriotic...will fight to death for their new home.
An alloy is stronger than steel....Diversity of thought, religion, culture, race etc. has always been our secret weapon and secret strength.
Immigration? Refugees? They are the sustenance of the free world. The root of the USA's success.
We have taken mass waves of Asians, Germans, Italians, Hispanics, Irish ad infinium...and each time grew stronger and more dominant in the world.
Intolerance vs. tolerance....purity vs. diversity...is not a simple moral argument...it is the answer to Nations success and failure...it is the secret to what is great about the USA.

Germany forgot the first rule of life...no good deed will go unpunished. Just wait til Merkel starts jailing her citizens for not complying with the demands the vermin make. Don't wait to become the same as the USA, where the citizens are now second class and the invaders are treated like citizens.

I live in California over a half a century. This state is migrant central for all cultures and nationalities.
We have assimilated large communities of Latino, Vietnamese, Chinese and Indians (India), to name a few. California hasn't self destructed.

Well hells bells member states of NATO, you destroyed their respective countries, what'd you expect?

And lets face it, California assimilated Christians, not muslims. Take half of the latino's and turn them into muslims and lets see what California looks like then.

That is a very moving dissertation that reflects the wonder of a society that comes together as one. Unfortunately, you completely left out a few key elements. Like, islam does not want to blend in, adopt our ways, and become part of America.

I don't have the quotes in front of me at the moment, but I saw several articles last night where government at the local levels where a lot of the refugees are being moved are telling merkel that the influx was grossly underestimated and they are in no way prepared for or able to deal with the logistics or absorb the cost of this [siege] as one man put it.
