Newsbusters reports that on today's Morning Joe​ on MSNBC, Bloomberg columnist Margaret Carlson suggested that potential terrorists sneaking into the West aren't as much of a problem for the United States because we are better than Europe at assimilating immigrants, and therefore terrorists are likely to change their minds and become loyal, productive citizens here rather than shoot up a mall or set off bombs in crowds.

So there's no problem, you see, with welcoming tens of thousands of Syrian refugees because the ISIS members embedded among them aren't actually going to carry out their mission. Why wouldn't they change their minds about killing us? We're so nice!

Below is a partial transcript of the exchange among host Joe Scarborough and guests Carlson and Gov. Bobby Jindal, whose comment about immigration-as-invasion kicked off Carlson's reality-challenged musing:

JINDAL: The reality is, earlier this year I went abroad and I went to Europe and I gave a speech. I came back here and said Europe has a problem. They're not assimilating many of these Muslims, we must not let that happen here. Now the left hated that. The reality is that we've got to continue to tell the truth. Immigration without integration is not immigration. It's an invasion. We must not let that happen here. 

SCARBOROUGH: And that really is, Margaret Carlson, that really is a key, the assimilation, the United States has been so successful at because we've had about 230 years of experience at it. 

CARLSON: And a lot of immigrants who built the country. So, we do know how to do it. Europe doesn't know how to do it. France especially doesn't know how to do it. England, not very good at it. And so, we have less of a problem. You know, those people who have snuck in, that, I don't know if they've snuck in, but maybe they become Americanized, maybe the anger goes away. Maybe what they snuck in to do they're not going to do because we do have an acceptance of these people as Congressman Ellison said. They're more patriotic because they're here and they work harder.

So because Americans are so nice to and accepting of Muslim immigrants, the terrorists among them are likely to be won over, become American patriots, forget their religious imperative to wage jihad, and abandon their plots to wreak death and devastation. By contrast, those rude waiters in Paris must have made the Muslim terrorists last Friday feel just too darn alienated and unappreciated.

Two words come to mind for Margaret Carlson: Boston bombers.

How do people like Carlson get through the day without hurting themselves?
