In Britain, it's much more about legal immigration from elsewhere in the EU.

not an answer, but thanks for not calling me a troll? Earlier you were saying things are becoming global, but now these things aren't? Your source for Europe's fear of terrorism is? In UK and DE it is about countries letting immigrants into the EU, have you read about what Germany is doing? Italy is the entry point- but at least for the near term, no more.
