    Well, the people with migration backgrounds are overrepresented in crime stats, and crime is getting more violent. People just tend to ignore that the main driver for crime is lack of economic opportunity. These same people are also overrepresented in the low income bracket. Easy pret for criminals… hey wanna make 500? Just climb over that fence and get me a package from that shipping container.

    • There are traumatized war refugees that cannot function normal on a good day, they get no guidance and nothing to do… and people wonder why they flip out and do crazy shit.
    • There are young (adults), that get to sit in asylum centers and get to do nothing… months on end. And people wonder why they go out and do stupid shit.
    • And then you have migrants that actually come to these countries to profiteer, knowing they will get kicked out so they enjoy it while it lasts.

    There is plenty to be worried about with migrants of varying generations. But most of it is not solved by repression. But also not by bussing in more while wagging your finger at people worried about the crime in their neighborhood while telling them they are racist for noticing it is always dark skinned people that break in or deal drugs in their street.

    My main issue with the right is usually their anti immigrant shit does not work, and actually solving the issues meana they lose their main recruitment tool. So they implement a lot of other bad laws while ignoring the issues that get them elected.

      The flip side of that coin is if there are not enough opportunities for the current population adding more people is not a good idea.
