All this to get you to the point of a recent post entitled, "Conversations with Fjordman" where he discusses the state of the jihad in Europe. A snippet:
The more I investigate the Great Jihad, the more important Europe seems. The United States military fights on the front lines of the “War on Terror”, but Europeans live on the front lines. What happens in Europe is crucial: if the USA follows Denmark’s example, we can expect to defeat the Jihad. If we use Sweden as a model, we can put our head between our legs right now and kiss our collective fundament goodbye.
In either case, what happens in Europe foreshadows the shape of things to here in the USA.

Social welfare policies, on the other hand, are still under the control of the individual European states. As a result, Third World immigrants — many of whom subsist on state payments — tend to move to where the welfare programs are the most generous. The largest concentrations of Muslims are thus found in the big cities of Germany, the Netherlands, Britain, and Sweden. The country borders within the EU behave like permeable membranes between plant cells, with the osmotic pressure of welfare regulating the flow of rent-seekers from one country to another.
This could also be applied to the United States as far as Illegal Aliens moving to states where they are treated better by social welfare programs, and they are not hassled while finding work...in particular North Carolina, where it is notoriously easy to get Drivers Licenses:
Currently, North Carolina and five other states allow the use of an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) as proof of identity when issuing driver’s licenses and identification cards. A taxpayer identification number does not prove you are who you say you are. This allows illegal aliens to come to North Carolina and get a driver’s license with nothing more than a slip of paper with numbers on it.[Source]
While I haven't seen these two issues linked together in such a fashion; I believe there is a parallel that we could draw lessons from the comparison.
