When someone moves from a country where honor killings and stoning are tolerated and encouraged to retain their culture and heritage, then what do you expect when they continue with the laws from their "old" country ?
On one hand we promote this cultural diversity and want them to retain their culture and heritage and then scream when they do what their culture does in another country that does not tolerate it ?
You don't want assimilation. Then you have to tolerate how they live don't you ?
Do women's driver license pictures in ME countries all have the same black burqua'd face with just 2 brown eyes showing ? If so and you want this diversity then you have to allow it in your own country.
You're going with the assumption that these people are "needed". Why the pro-immigrant people never question why citizens are not allowed a say in immigration is beyond me. Corporate interests drive immigration policy, yet in this case I guess corporate greed is okay.
I subscribe to the belief that less is more. We should aim to have a smaller population and every country should do their best to become self sufficient regarding food, power and water. If you're in a position where you need to import these things, then you're in a position where you need to go to war.
Corporate greed? in europe? home of marx and socialism? sorry, fact is you just can't have a nation composed almost entirely of old people. Economics, real economics, not the musings of marx pretty much requre a stable population. Most of europe does not have a stable population. Those immigrants are there for a reason.
And that is the failure of multi-cultural policies. Instead of holding fast to liberal democratic values (e.g. freedom of speech, tolerance of other viewpoints), governments have been sacrificing core values so as not to offend the newcomers.
Yes, multiculturalism sucks if it's a functioning society your after. However, the concepts of identity politics are probably more responsible for the failure of european governments, ours too, to come to terms with a populace that refuses to assimilate.
