Fareed on Immigration

Fareed Zakariah, who went thru the process, examines the immigration issue in WaPo. The money shot:

My own explanation is that American immigrant communities, even Arab and Muslim ones, are not very radicalized. (Even if such an attack does take place, the fact that 4 1/2 years have gone by without one provides some proof of this contention.) Compared with every other country in the world, America does immigration superbly. Do we really want to junk that for the French approach?

I dont have the answer to the problem (yet, anyway). But surely aping the far less successful methods of our EU friends is not the way to go.
