Our immigrants want to undercut our economy and work cheap, not to hurt us. France's immigrants want to exterminate their "hosts". Big difference......
Wow! things have changed. 50 years ago the Frenched MOD CUT for liberating them from the Nazi's. My brother lives in France and they dont hate America, they just hate anyone who doesn't speak French.
i speak french i lived there. im not french. french have done a few things we dont like. but they have also done some stuff correctly. they have much in common with us. a love of liberty and democracy. i dont understand a lot of anti french behavior in my own country.
i mean they treat tourists badly in paris but its got to be more than that because not that many americans go there.
no?

Because their immigration problem isn't nearly parallel to ours. And I wouldn't be praising the French, they hate you and me. They HATE Americans.
I lived in Europe back in the late 80's and never got the impression that French hated Americans. I even learned a little French.
French are a bit arrogant, no doubt about that, probably some of the most arrogant Europeans. But then, you can't go wrong overestimating the arrogance of Americans, either. And France has alot to be arrogant about, they have a pretty decent society overall. The only problem they have that is a real issue is the higher-than-average unemployment and immigration. The unemployment is a relatively minor problem and could be fixed with a little tweaking and liberalization of their labor laws, while immigration is a tougher nut to crack for them because some of their postwar economy was built on cheap Algerian guest labor.
It's a real shame that we can't get more French stuff in the US. Being a motorcycle aficionado, Peugeot makes some great motorcycles and scooters, but none of them are sold in the US. I'd love to have a Peugeot Jetforce or Compressor (a supercharged scooter, it'd be fun).
Being anti-French francophobes is about the stupidest meme the Right in the US has ever come up with.
Because their immigration problem isn't nearly parallel to ours. And I wouldn't be praising the French, they hate you and me. They HATE Americans.
And Mexico hates us also, so why do you love them? BTW, they don't hate Americans. They hate Bush, like most intelligent people do.

Actually, many of the illegals and other immigrants want to exterminate the Anglo whites in this country. You need to keep up with what they really want. The illegal problem we have is very dangerous indeed.
