[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Immigration is exhausting Europe. There are many refusing to fit in adopt European culture, language, and customs. What could possibly go wrong mixing civilizations diametrically opposed to each other on almost every issue? We’ve seen this in the UK, France, and now Germany.  People reject open borders and unfettered, mass migration.  [/quote]

People said that about every immigrant group once upon a time in the US esp. Irish & Italians. [/quote]

It's a bit different in Germany. Germans are heavily encouraged to have immigrants live with them in their households. The government will pay for you to house Ukrainians but even so, they exist together in a way that doesn't happen here in the US. When they took a bunch of Syrian and Afghan migrants, they plopped them by handfuls into little German villages, etc. The idea was full integration. It hasn't really "taken."  I have a weird penchant for talking to new immigrants in Germany about their experiences and every one of them has mentioned that Germany is difficult to assimilate into and that they want to go home. Even Germans that work in the social system to help immigrants express disdain for their cultures-- Americans have a lot to work on, but we generally believe that cultures should be respected. That isn't a super European viewpoint. [/quote]
