complete picture, but it is one data point. I think it is more relevant than what city managers says.
But a serious question about immigration. What I see from the left is unconditional defense of immigrants and I am a bit perplexed by this.

Talking more concretely, there is a town in England called Luton, that apparently 20 years ago had one mosque, and how it has 49 of them.
