Additionally, Britain notoriously turns a blind eye to the 'customs' of its Islamic immigrants. Girls are pulled out of school in their mid-teens and are forced into marriages, which amounts to kidnapped and raped. As for suffrage, in many places Britain still uses mail-only ballots, where the ballots are delivered to a household. Under such conditions, the head-of-household can 'persuade' those of voting age to vote in a certain way, both eliminating woman's suffrage and their ability to make a change.

However, as a nation of citizens, we should be on guard against outsiders, and deal with the crimes they may commit, in the light of justice. As a nation, we should also not be discouraged from preventing injustice by those who would label perfectly rational actions as 'xenophobic' or 'racist'.
Inevitably, there will be those amongst an immigrant or refugee population that will commit crime or violence in one form or another, and eventually this will spill over to affect the native population. Hiding their actions and covering up their sins does nothing to remedy the situation at hand. If these people truly are the same on the inside, they should be judged the same. Impartiality on the favor of one side or the other does not result in true justice. Both coddling and terrorizing this population deviates from their position …show more content…
Although it is true that this may allow some to avoid contact with these immigrants and refugees, it increases the impact that these people have on their new place of residence. There is a reason why Chinatown exists, why there is a large community of Japanese-Americans on the West Coast and a Basque population in the Boise
