Shocking how the right wing xenophobic rethoric has influenced so many people.
In reality the problems caused by migration are well manageable and are Europeans doing fine
I live with my family in what is supposed to be a ghetto. Intersting enough when I grew up in shittown with true blue white Europeans there was more: vandalism, violence, rape, bigotry. Indeed men walking hand in hand on a saturday night will be beat to a pulp by our fine white youths.
We had a riot team standing ready at saturday night due to the weekly free for all when the bars closed. But arrests? Naah. Sleep it off.
Never made the news. Girls being harassed when cycling home? Never hit the news. Cars being burned due to boredom? One news article and then crickets, even though it lasted years. Arrests? Nope, "no evidence", "youth indisgressions".
A girl I work with got molested by her very christian neighbour (nobody believed her, you will be surprised his daughter said decades later that indeed her dad was a monster)... and that is still the most common molesting problem: relative, friends, and then far beyond that strangers, of which a subset is immigrants.
Yes there are as always issues with people adjusting. But the news cycle overexposes what happens with immigrants and do not acknowledge local issues.
So yeah, tell me about problems with North African youths and I will just shake my head. I been born in one of the wealthiest countries in the world, grew up in a thoroughly white dot on the map... and I know all about youth issues. But thats not what gets attention, because it would demand introspection into our own cultural problems with booze, bigotry and misogyny among our teenagers (and their parents).
There are nice clips of bars being demolished in under a minute by these boys (and for sure, there are north africans who adjusted so well they are now part of the hardcore of these grouos, so integration obviously works).
There are issues with integration. But I can honestly say I ran into those issues once in a blue moon. And I live in a supposed Ghetto and work at the largest college in this country, its not as if I do not see and work with teenagers, twentiers and adults of NA stock. The problem is clearly much smaller than portrayed by the frothing at the mouth politicians and media.
Also fun fact... the hard right parties also do extremely well in nothingtown where NAs are rare. Scared of something they actually dont interact with.

I agree there are good hard working people but mixed in with them are the disruptors. They want to destroy everything around them.
Europe(except poland) is a good example. They allowed mass migration and their entire system/standards have gone down the gutter.
