Seconding Obama, John Kasich Argues Poverty Causes Terrorism

‘In these countries, Belgium and France, they have to figure out a way to integrate these populations’

KASICH: "Let me say one other very interesting thing. We have been a country here in America where we have really been able to integrate people. People come to America, and almost all -- of course there are always exceptions -- they want to be Americans. When they go to France, they don't want to be French. They want to live in their banus, they don't want to adopt anything about the heritage, the language, anything else. They try to get a job. They can't speak French or speak broken French. They can't get a job. Poverty rises. In these countries, Belgium and France, they have to figure out a way to integrate these populations. It's going to be really hard for them to do it. How do you do it? I am not quite sure. You know, to some degree, when you go to a country, there has to be a sense that you want to be in that country. Not that you want to recreate your old country in that country and never -- we know with immigrants -- immigrants want to celebrate their heritage. That's fine. But at the end you have to become a citizen of where it is you want to live."
