I’ve seen so many threads on this forum about immigration issues between the US and Mexico- and after sifting through them for a while, I have a couple of questions…

But before I start- this thread is NOT intended to be a discussion on the issues of the US/Mexican immigration policies. Please don’t hijack this thread.

So here we go-

I am interested to hear what people from other countries, not the US or Mexico, have to say about immigration issues affecting their own countries, so long as they are not from the US or from Mexico, and the immigration issues are not related to the US or to Mexico.

For example, are any other countries around the world, ** not the US or Mexico** having difficulty finding reasonable ways to manage a heavy influx of immigrants. In my own experience, visiting Ireland and talking to relatives there, that there are some challenging issues in regard to the immigration of Polish citizens to Ireland.

Another example: I also know that various countries around Europe have been struggling with immigrant populations that tend to separate themselves from mainstream society, and that this tendency has lead to socio-cultural tension on the part of both the native and immigrant populations.

Again, this thread is not intended to be a discussion on the US /Mexican immigration issue- Please don’t post about the US/Mexican immigration issues in this thread.
 
Hi there, UK here, London to be specific.

Immigration on the whole has had a hugely positive effect on my country, despite what certain right wing newspapers would have others believe. Certain people within certain communities choose to cloister themselves, but many others do not, they mingle with their fellow British citizens.

Being both Irish and having been raised in England (though not a citizen) I can say that while there have been a large number of immigrants to both nations from Eastern Europe, on the whole this has not had the destabilising effect that some people have predicted.

If anything, despite being half English myself I feel that some of them have separated themselves from the smaller immigrant population, growing up, including the English members of my family (not many) I can total the number of English people I know to under 50.

Hope this is in the spirit of what you were looking for.

God bless

Peter
