If the choice is:
1. Watch your country turn into an Islamic state.
2. Do something to prevent 1 above.

What's the answer?

Little problem (I typed up to here using the french version of the keyboard) here. We are in a democracy and we love it. However a vocal part of the society are myopic enough to be ok with the first part of your hypothesis. For instance I am always amazed to see that feminist women in the West are in favour of uncontrolled immigration which will put them in a difficult place if the uninvited guests end up with the control of the county.

Being a democracy is not enough.
Pre war Germany was a democracy, but the Nazi party still gained power and they used Germanys democratic process to put their very un-democratic selves in power, after which it was all too late.

France and the UK are set to become Islamic, and there fore undemocratic states, run under Sharia law. Its only a matter of time.

All that's required is for us to do nothing.

If we kicked 10,000 out every time they cut someones head off, that would be a start.

I have no doubt our democracy works better than the one in pre-WWII Germany. Unfortunately in the EU a lot of EU tax payers money is wasted on illegal immigration creating excellent paying jobs for enough people to create a powerful lobby for the maintenance of those jobs (not for helping those immigrants in real need). And since they are much better off than the average EU citizen who has to live with the impact of the Islamisation they have no reason not to use their power to maintain the situation.

I think borders means international airports and sea terminals, as it does in Spain. Land borders cannot be controlled effectively.

Three people killed and several injured in Nice knife attack
There were unconfirmed reports in the French media that at least one of the victims had been beheaded.
The mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi, said the attacker had repeated “Allahu Akbar” several times while he was being arrested and handcuffed by police.

I can’t see the Nice attacker being treated to a nice French lunch and then taken to Calais and given an inflatable with a reliable outboard motor and adequate fuel? But heyho we live in interesting times!

Maybe the 10,000 per capita rule might soon be implemented?
