At least the French recognize that all these Muslim immigrants pose a major problem for THEIR country and THEIR culture. It's a shame that our administration cannot even contemplate actions on ILLEGAL immigrants.
PARIS – France's lower house of parliament overwhelmingly approved a ban on wearing burqa-style Islamic veils Tuesday, part of a concerted effort to define and protect French values that has disconcerted many in the country's large Muslim community.
Proponents of the law say face-covering veils don't square with the French ideal of women's equality or its secular tradition. The bill is controversial abroad but popular in France.
