>European countries, such as Sweden, migrants are more likely to get into trouble than locals, but this is mostly because they are more likely to be young and male.
I don't even know where to start with this. Could it be that young and male aren't the core of the issue?
I like how the article almost dismisses the realities of religious and racial conflicts.
Then there is this:
>If the worry is that immigrants will outvote the locals and impose an uncongenial government on them, one solution would be not to let immigrants vote—for five years, ten years or even a lifetime. This may seem harsh, but it is far kinder than not letting them in. If the worry is that future migrants might not pay their way, why not charge them more for visas, or make them pay extra taxes, or restrict their access to welfare benefits? Such levies could also be used to regulate the flow of migrants, thus avoiding big, sudden surges
This seems like a very sane system. Why is this not something we do? Do we not care about local interests at all as long as immigration isn't "too high"?
As an immigrant, I think this would be fair.
