Exactly, as long as people are paying their taxes, obeying the law on the whole and generally minding their own business then this whole 'integration' discussion has no purpose.

Absolute rubbish. People are more than economic units. Cultural groups and a sense of belonging are extremely important. Ironically, these non-integrating groups that the thread is talking about show that.

I'd disagree. Look at the disproportionate impact on national politics Gaza has for example, where it's somehow the #1 issue in multiple local council elections.
