I think the tipping point would be when the immigrant communities within a nation have grown so large that you have large groups of people who have not been properly assimulated...

and as consequence, are easily susceptible to an ideology that tells them to blow away their fellow citizens with a Kalashnikov.

There are literally little microcosm communities of Iraq and Syria within France & Belgium, to the point that the Belgium government admitted it doesn't have control over certain neighborhoods in their country. (basically a nation within a nation)

As for North America, when you think that the US admits 1 million immigrants each year, 10,000 Syrian refugees is a drop in the bucket, the chances of them not becoming assimulated to American culture is slim to none.

As long as all the security screening is done to the fullest extent it should be all good, geopolitically it will make the US look benevolent in the eyes of the Arab world when you consider that the gulf states are taking in 0 refugees!

Is this any different from high crime inner-city areas?

I have no idea if the crime rates in these areas are higher than the rest of France or Belgium.

The issue for me is the policy of multiculturalism that advocates for mass immigration without proper assimilation to western values.

As consequence of this, you now have a growing population of young men and women of Sunni faith in Europe whose loyalty lies with a competing ideology that is anti western in nature.

The fact that over a quarter of the Muslim population in the UK sympathizes with the Charlie Hebdo murders is very problematic.

Sweden has a rape epidemic, Amsterdam has become the gay bashing capital of Europe and anti-Semitism and violence against people of Jewish faith has been on the rise.

Most importantly though is that incidents of terrorism are becoming more and more commonplace throughout Europe.

The United States doesn't have this problem because immigrants from Mexico & central America are already westernized.

Is it because Muslim people are evil, no of course not. Is it because multiculturalism and its travelling companion political correctness are political ideologies based on utopian principles like Communism & socialism, Absolutely!!!

So I will say it again, if you have a policy of mass immigration you need to assimilate! assimilate!! assimilate!!!...sorry venting again.

No. Not at all. Look at 'The Glades' from season one of Arrow as a perfect example of this. Every major city in the US has it's own 'Glades'.
