It's a numbers game.... The American Prospect tries to give a reality check to Europe's nascent anti-immigrant movement. Though the points in the article tend to argue for more subtlety in the restrictionist camp, I see little that will convince those who believe that Europe's Christian/post-Christian identity is being threatened by an Islamic tide. In addition-the authors of the article in question seem not to entertain the possibility than an immigration freeze by itself could foster assimilation.
