When it comes to immigration, the key word is integration; the shared desire to integrate and the shared ability to integrate.
What the rapporteur is telling us is of great importance, but some priorities must be set out. I understand and share the rapporteur’s concerns, but I feel compelled to focus my attention on this idea of the ability to integrate, which entails strict controls on who enters a country and who stays. The reasons for this are twofold: firstly, and most importantly, because the rewards for breaking the law act as an incentive for illegal immigration and for the networks profiting from it; and secondly, because illegal immigration itself overstretches our ability to integrate.
Nevertheless, on the issue of education, the active integration of immigrants and their children is of immediate concern. The arrival of new, different cultures is a positive phenomenon, but this must not stop us from wanting those who arrive to integrate, and integration means accepting the host culture. It is clear that schools are excellent places in which to do this. It is also clear that the more symbiotic this relationship, the better. Let us not lose sight, however, of the starting point of the relationship."@en1
