Of course, I mean France's (national anxiety), not ours.
You're right. Anything springing from fear or anxiety or ignorance or evil intent is likely to produce bad social consequences. My point is that the French have taken romanticism, confusion, and guilt and suffused it into immigration policies that are now eating away at the very heart of their society and culture. What does it mean to be French? This is what more and more French are asking, although they may well be asking it a bit too late.
