I love Portugal, but on the immigration issue, the countries that succeed in the 21st century will be those who successfully deal with immigration, because it's coming, you cannot box it out forever.

You aren't to quick to judge at all. You have thought it through. As much as Indians had a right to their own country during the British era, so do the Portuguese, and us Americans. Those who go to a foreign place to live have a duty to assimilate, learn the local culture, and appreciate what was before, and build on it.

The other thing is also basic for the sake of their countries' cultures; they have to stay and fix things. We had the destruction of the Civil War, and had to work things out in the USA.
