Hirsi Ali asks France for citizenship after US won't pay for her security

You'd think that Ayaan Hirsi Ali would get some real security after getting a green card in the US, right? Wrong:
Now the former Dutch lawmaker is asking France to grant her citizenship because, she says, she cannot be assured of her own safety in the Netherlands or the US.

“I would be very honored and grateful if I were to become a French citizen, and the question of my protection could be resolved once and for all,” said Ali, speaking in English in an interview on Sunday with France-2 television…

Ali said that she chose France because she had received support from French intellectuals and sympathy from French political leaders.

French Philosopher Henri Levy has championed Ali’s bid for French citizenship. He has described Ali as a “brave woman” who “has already proved that she is French.”

France’s Human Rights Minister, Rama Yade, stopped short of guaranteeing citizenship for Ali, but said on a France-2 news program that France would lobby for the creation of a European Union-wide fund to cover the security of citizens who live under religiously motivated threats like the fatwa against Ali. The fund has the support of French President Nicolas Sarkozy, as well as France’s Socialist Party and about 70 European Parliament members.
Isn't that interesting how even France's socialists have a better understanding of this than US socialists do. As Allahpundit at Hot Air asks, why is it that illegal aliens get better treatment than legal ones do?
