Europe, in particular, has faced difficulties this year. Caught in the rising tide of anti-Muslim hysteria—a product of a dysfunctional immigration system and a chronic failure to assimilate new immigrants??normally mild-mannered Switzerland passed a measure banning minarets, a law we passionately decried.

If those workers were forced to leave the country, as former Massachusetts governor and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney demands, the U.S. would suffer an immense economic crisis...
