I used to think of myself as a liberal (and still believe I am) but this talk of "our integration policies have failed" is definitely beginning to piss me off.
Yeah, maybe we don't do as much as we could. But, when I look around, I see that those who failed most are those who have migrated to western European countries. I live in a neighborhood with more than 50% immigrants. When our local school organizes free German lessons for mothers and fathers of schoolchildren, most of which barely speak any German, they have to cancel their classes because nobody gives a shit.
I don't generally have a problem with immigration. More than half of my friends haven't been born here. Three of my grandparents haven't been born here and Switzerland wouldn't prosper the way it does without immigration. But integration needs an effort on both parts. Those who don't want to work on getting integrated here shouldn't be allowed to stay.
And no, I don't want to familiarise myself with religion. I want them to familiarise themselves with the notion that religion isn't a cornerstone of our society anymore. If they don't get that, they're kindly invited to leave. Or else they're shackled and forced to board the next plane to where their primitive ideas are still embraced. I don't want to devolve to accomodate them.
I know a perfectly fine integration policy: A one way ticket to Pristina, Skopje, Tunis, Kabul, Lagos or wherever the fuck they came from in the first place for all those who don't play by our rules.
They got a chance, they blew it, they go home. All others are most welcome to stay.
