The small Italian island of Lampedusa is being overwhelmed by the number of migrants arriving on its shores, its mayor said on Thursday, after thousands of people landed from North Africa on flimsy boats over the past two days.

    It is easy to shift the blame at the EU for integration. But even they did not expect this resistance based on the early migrant waves in the 80s and 90s. Nowadays, refugees get 2 years paid program (per houshold member) to attend language and culture class integration. The only isssue is that there is no harsh deadline and after those 2 years they will still get paid till they are ready to enter the work force. The catch? Many migrants don’t go through and attendance being non-mandatory it ends up being a financial drain on the cities. The main issue is majority of migrants are from a different culture and often uneducated. And a cherry on top, Islam is inherently supermacist, and this adds a lot to the attitude of the migrants. In Sweden, they are offering now 25k for people to return to their countries.
