I am not quite sure what you mean, but certainly "immigrants" are not "visitors" and the children of "immigrants" in most countries are called "citizens" and should definitely not have to fear deportation. (To say nothing of naturalized immigrants.) Immigration is crucial for the future of Western countries, if only because we have a lot more old people than young people, and someone needs to work and keep the economy going. Countries like Canada and a number of European countries have assertive immigration policies, and depend on the influx of people from other countries.
I am not Muslim, but if I was, I would think twice before posting to this thread. This is not an easy topic to address, even more so if one feels personally connected to it (as Papaver and LPH mention).
I definitely do not agree with it, but I can very well understand how Islam became radicalized these last few years, and how the opposite point of view is getting equally radical, and how the escalation is hurting all of us. It worries me quite a bit, actually.
