The latter seems to be the truth from what I gather.

Whilst I would never be against humanitarian efforts to help those in need, you do have to draw a line. If you are bringing in so many people that your own economy cannot sustain it, there's a problem. Regardless of the race or religion that these people are, you simply cannot just open the floodgates and hope all will be well.

I don't want to get deep into the subject of Islamist extremism because it seems to be quite a touchy area around here, but I will say that you cannot ignore the very real problem that the religion seems to bring wherever it lands.
