It's the same issue here in the UK. đ
We need to get this thing into some kind of balance.
Is is right to blame these crimes and the changing of our cities on all immigrants?
There are plenty of immigrants who are right at the front when it comes to wanting to protect Britain and our National Identity.
And that honestly doesn't surprise me. Either these are more mature ladies and gents who have themselves lived in a country that they left to come here.
They know first hand what they gained by coming here, and what they left behind.
Others are the children of parents who came as immigrants, raised on stories of what their parents left behind to come here.
They have something to measure Britain against, in a way that those of us whose entire family line has come from these shores have not.
These are people who may devoutly practice the faith and culture of their family. But they do it within British Law and respectful of British Values and Culture.
(Sikhs feature prominently here. No way will I let the nefarious antics of one scumbag family tarnish the reputation of a community that by and large have become very fine British Citizens.
Yes, we still need to talk about how to balance out their religious symbolism of the 'kirpan' dagger with the fact that everyone else is forbidden from being armed in public.
But there has to be some way of sorting it to everyone's benefit.)
But, if we can talk about this beneficial side of immigration, then we should also be able to talk about the bad side.
Because if you listen to many of the immigrants I mention above, they are certainly not backwards in coming forwards to say that this 'bad side' is as much to their detriment as it is to Native Brits.
We have the criminals - Those who either have come from cultures where the rights of women and girls in their own culture are practically non existent.
And women and girls who are not of their culture are the lowest of the low.
So we're not supposed to notice that Working Class White Girls, Sikh and Hindu girls have been targeted for rape and torture?
(Yes, class has been an issue here, because it's highly significant as to how these girls have not got the help they need.)
Anti Western Attitudes - Yes, there are those who come here, not to become British, but with the aim of one day changing Britain to suit themselves.
And there are idiotic Brits quite prepared to side with them. Yes, they may well have highly significant differences of opinion on many matters.
But what they agree on is a hate for Britain and Western Civilisation in general.
And one can hear these most unlikely allies sometimes 'saying the quiet part aloud' that Britain 'deserves this' because of The British Empire.
This should be an excuse that is laughed out of the water for how ludicrous it is.
Did the British Empire end with Indiaâs 1947 independence or Hong Kongâs 1997 handover? A nuanced look at empireâs decline and the Commonwea
I won't pretend that The British Empire didn't have an extremely dark side. It certainly did.
But its end became inevitable after WW2. India gained independence and partitioned in 1947.
As more nations followed suit many, like India became members of The Commonwealth of Nations formed in 1949. This let them retain ties with Britain, as long as they wished and keep the British Monarch as Head of State.
The Sun Set finally on the Empire in 1997, when Hong Kong was handed back to China.
We also shouldn't be having to tolerate parts of our cities changing to resemble the places that people left to come here.
The point should be that Britain is a country so well grounded in her own sense of Self, the cultures of England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Cornwall, Isle of Man, developed over centuries, and marinated in the rich wine of Christianity, that we can embrace people who practice other faiths and cultures, confident that we can expect to get the same respect in return as we give.
We were close to that at one time. There's no reason that we can't be again.
