Auzzies have a selective immigration policy. They go for professionals and people with degrees. We Europeans have taken in the lowest sections of North African society. Entire villages from Morocco have moved to Italy, and France has seen bad riots. In Morocco, there are educated people, skilled people and professionals. Then, you have hundreds of thousands of Moroccan Christians and Jews. Our mistake was to take in millions of Muslims, when we could have diversified. Moreover, we took in people with very little formal education who became criminals.
