In what other ways do you admire these countries?

---

I have friends that currently live in Germany and have thoroughly toured Europe over my years. The economies of these particular countries are in top notch shape, their healthcare systems are excellent, amazingly low unemployment and poverty rates (Finland's unemployment is a little high but 2nd lowest poverty rate) and as far as best quality of life which takes into consideration factors of housing, average income, jobs, community involvement, education, environment, civic engagement, etc. All 3 of these countries rank ahead of the U.S. so there is plenty to admire.

Seriously.... aren't they all in the middle of an immigrant crisis right now?

Yes, they are having some issues of dealing with the mass influx of migrants from war torn middle eastern countries and they are working on solving these problems. The main problem is finding food and shelter for these families in need. If you are implying that because of the 3, 4 or 5 negative stories you may have heard of about some 2 million or so people makes the people themselves the crisis then you need to get a better understanding of math and percentages.

But you probably want to give this country to ISIS because it's just as much theirs as ours.

Nice red herring and ad hominem attack loaded with BS and completely lacking of facts...I will explain these big words to you.

"A Red Herring is a fallacy in which an irrelevant topic is presented in order to divert attention from the original issue."

Ad hominem attack is an argument or reaction directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining.

This country was great because of it's "boot straps" work ethic.

I just love your use of past tense here.
