BBC report: "Merkel says German multicultural society has failed"

[cbelt3]

I'm afraid Germany's citizenship policy is primarily to blame for this 'failure'. You see, in Germany you must be the child of at least one German citizen to be a citizen. Gastarbeiters (Guest Workers) are just that... foreigners who can come, work, pay taxes, and then get the spass out. Even their German-born children are not citizens. (No 'anchor babies'). France has much the same issues with Islamic immigrant and non-citizen policies.

Point to the US politicians... The only way to integrate immigrant populations is to make them citizens and get them working as part of the population. Otherwise you're talking a complex version of serfdom.
