Questo tipo di discorso e di politica fa sembrare che in Finlandia sia finita un’era. Il programma di integrazione mi ha aiutato a imparare la lingua, a familiarizzare con la vita e la società e a rendermi più facilmente impiegabile. Oggi prospero professionalmente e nella mia vita sociale in questo paese che chiamo casa, e attribuisco molto di questo alle competenze linguistiche e alla sicurezza che ho acquisito durante il corso.
Capisco che diventerà sempre più difficile per gli stranieri sentirsi benvenuti e a casa in questo Paese.

I genuinely feel that immigrants can not win here. It is really difficult not to feel unwelcome and a tad bit hostile towards this country when they are making it impossible to live here.
Oh wow what were we expecting?
Understandable! Why spending money on this integration training when the government want to kick out all immigrants.
It’s a shame and it was helpful to me also. However very few countries offer this kind of thing and it’s a cost the government doesn’t really need the burden of, especially with all the new anti immigrant policies.
I mean, it’s really obvious what they’re doing. Cut funding to the main way immigrants learn the language and then put the permanent residence permit behind a language proficiency level. They want to reduce immigration as much as possible. They’ll make exceptions for the tech industry because Kokoomus is the leading party, but if it was up to them they’d close the border and kick out anyone without a Finnish surname and white skin.
They do not want to reduce all immigration, they want to reduce unqualified and costly benefit-based immigration. But the line is not always so clear. However there some origins that are a net cost to the economy even on a longer run. Some immigrants never integrate so why even try, probably the logic here.
The government’s own impact assessment of the proposed savings noted that cuts to integration services may harm immigrants’ integration and job prospects. It also said that reducing funding could increase long-term public spending and decrease revenue.
Like most cuts of this nature, its already well known that the cost of the cuts will exceed the savings. meaning that its done for philosophical reasons. in this case, motivated by hatred of ‘the other’
what they should understand is that the chief failure of Sweden was in having no real meaningful integration program… Finland didn’t just do better with their immigrants and avoid Sweden’s problems by taking less per capital immigrants… but because they had a program for the immigrants.
being an immigrant and having the system show you a plan makes it easier to feel like “okay, this is hard, but the country wants me to succeed, so let’s go”.
It sucked and was useless anyway…

Helsinki has a lot of money to spend on all kinds of things, at least they can continue the integration even with reduced government funding.
