Citing culture as an opposition to legal immigration (distinct from border security) is just a socially acceptable way of embracing racism

Will, I agree with everything you write in this essay re Trump, Hegseth and Ukraine. However, I think you're leaving out the threat to Europe from Radical (not all) Islam oriented migrants, whether legal or illegal. Who are disproportionately misogynistic, homophobic and favourable toward Sharia Law (per survey data). This is not a racial issue per se. I would like to see this topic discussed more on the Bulwark. Thank you.

What radical Islamist migrants? They exist only in the imagination of Americans. Experience in Europe has shown that most ‘radicals’ self-radicalise, generally driven by feelings of exclusion in their lives. There is no radicalisation machine. Just another expression of USAers’ bigotry and prejudice.
