And also I think it is incredibly ignorant to just say 'immigrants are the problem' no they're not, no matter what race, religion, gender etc you are always going to get extremists and people who do wrong, but judging everyone by those extremists is of no good to anybody. In fact in a lot of countries, USA and Britain included, immigrants do one heck of a lot of good.
I believe in a diverse society. Yes there may be cultural differences or debates or whatever but I think that the majority who live peacefully alongside others should within reason be able to practice whatever religion they want, dress how they want, act how they want so long as it isn't harming anyone else, and I don't think that some extremists/idiots/sadists of the same race/religion/orientation/whatever should make people condemn an entire group. Every group has people who are less than desirable. Doesn't mean you to have to condemn the lot.
If we were going with that (in my opinion) daft logic we would look at the American shooters who killed many innocent people and go 'oh well if we got rid of the Americans we'd all be fine, they're just more likely to do that sort of thing' which is RIDICULOUS but so is saying oh yes well this immigrant did this so we'd be better off without all of them as they are predisposed to drop bombs.
Hope I don't offend anyone just wanted to give my opinion.
