Don't forget, those first and second generation immigrants in the ghetto are not the same people who were the second and third generation - that moved out - maybe into the suburbs. The point was a nation's most productive people tend to be the third generation immigrants. People who are born in that country.

A problem in France: those second and third generation immigrants complain they do not have such opportunities. Complaints so widespread that violence was at least 254 French cities and towns. By numbers, the complaints are too widespread to not be legitimate.
