There was a big article in Businessweek 2 weeks ago, singing the praise of the success of massive immigration in your country, Spain. The article claimed that Spain could serve as the positive role model for the rest of Europe, now much more experienced in the negative aspects of immigration. The article devoted one small paragraph to what-if-it-doesn't-work and then moved on to nothing but blind positive thinking.
It's not my country. I could afford to laugh at the author but I just shook my head.

Hey, inmigration has been a success here. We have MILLIONS of inmigrants, can you think of a higher success?
[Irony mode OFF]
Spain as we know it today is the result of inmigration and a flow of lots of cultures. All of them contributed to form us as we are today, Romans, cartaginens, phoenicians, visigotes, islam...yet it should be obvious that NONE of those cultures exists any longer but instead there is a fusion of all of them. Many cheap columnists seem to forget that. If we continue to have such a flow of inmigration, we might have a succesful society, a strong economy here and a strong culture here (Which I doubt) but it will NO LONGER be the spanish one, that's for sure:hmm:

You guys should have thought of that before you went and colonized them. Great job you did around the world. You really should be proud of yourselves.
