The opinion of the French about immigrants after the riots: Drive them out
Published July 9, 2023 at 33 p.m
FOREIGN. After a week of rioting and looting in French cities, the majority of French now want citizenship and benefits revoked for immigrant families whose children took part in the vandalism. This is shown by a survey of far-right attitudes conducted by Odoxa-Backbone Consulting for the newspaper Le Figaro.

Although the French government has stated that the riots had nothing to do with immigration, this has been questioned.

As many as 75 percent of those polled believe that those who have been convicted of crimes in connection with the riots should be stripped of their French citizenship.

A majority also supports two proposals from the right-wing parties Republicans and National Gathering: An abolition of impunity for minors (78 percent) and the introduction of financial sanctions (suspended benefits) against parents of criminals (77 percent).

Approximately 59 percent of those surveyed want stricter immigration legislation in the fall. They see recent events as a consequence of the failure of immigration.

This is in stark contrast to Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin's statement that "there were many Kévins and Mattéos" among those arrested, who were "90 percent French".

Darmanin also emphasized that "the issue today is young criminals, not immigrants."

However, it has been noted that almost all of those arrested are second or third generation immigrants from the Third World, and many of the videos from the riot showed that people of non-European background were involved in most of the incidents of looting and acts of violence that were filmed.

The survey showed that although support for law enforcement and the police remains strong (64 percent), trust in the French government is declining.

Only 27 percent of those surveyed thought the government's response to the crisis was good or sufficient. Instead, the French expect the government to take tougher measures, especially when it comes to immigration.

According to Odoxa's analysis, the main feelings of the French population towards the riots were confusion (77 percent), anger (84 percent) and fear for the country's future (89 percent).

Fifty-year-old Wilhelmina Whitewater has been missing since 2018. She was last seen in July of that year in Tsaile, Arizona.

"Authorities describe Whitewater as a Native American female, 5’4”, 140 lbs., with black hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing black pants, a black and white jacket, and black and purple running shoes. She is known to suffer from addiction and substance abuse."

PART 1
Survey: Ukrainian refugees quickly find work
Published 7/9/2023


The lack of integration in the labor market has long been one of the major problems with non-Western asylum-related immigration to Sweden. While many in that group are supported by benefits for decades after arriving here, the picture is significantly different for the newly arrived Ukrainian refugees. More than half have already started working there. This is shown by a survey that the UN Migration Organization (IOM) has carried out on behalf of the Government Office.

In a record time in Sweden, the Ukrainian refugees in Sweden are entering the labor market. Already, more than half of those who fled wartime Ukraine have become self-supporting.

This surprises national economists as the result for asylum-related immigration from other parts of the world is considerably more disappointing . Large groups go unemployed for decades and cost the Swedish taxpayers enormous sums in benefits at the same time as no tax money comes into the publicly funded activities.

Over half already in work
On behalf of the Government Office, the UN Migration Organization (IOM) has interviewed nearly 5,000 Ukrainian refugees about their situation in Sweden, including how they have been able to find a job. Judging by how it usually looks for other migrant groups, the expectations have not been set very high, but have, gratifyingly, been exceeded by a large margin.

Already, 56 percent of Ukrainian refugees of working age have switched from benefits to self-support. It is a significantly higher percentage than what has been seen with other migrant groups, where in several cases you do not reach that figure even after several decades of residence in Sweden.

- 56 percent after one year is a lot. It usually takes longer than that. It's off to a very good start for this group. As time goes by, they will probably be well integrated into the Swedish labor market, says Mats Hammarstedt, professor of economics at the Linnaeus University and the Institute for Business Research, in a comment to Tidningen Näringslivet after having read the positive figures.

Expert rain for real
A partial explanation is that the Ukrainian refugees generally have a significantly higher level of education compared to the large migrant groups from the Third World that we in Sweden are used to receiving. In contrast to these, it is safe to say that there is a "rain of skills" in the case of the Ukrainian refugees - as many as 63 percent have a university education in their luggage.

Something that also stands out is that a large majority of the Ukrainian refugees are women. When Ukraine was invaded, it was obvious to many that the men would stay behind and defend the country and put women and children to safety. It is at odds with how it looks for the non-Western migrant groups, where it is common for the men to leave their wives and children in the lurch and find safety in Sweden themselves.

For non-Western asylum-related migrant groups, women with children have the absolute lowest employment rate. After decades in Sweden, many have never set foot on the labor market and often also declare that they have no intention of doing so because they have never worked in their home country. For the Ukrainian refugees, it looks different – ​​many are women with children, but have nevertheless quickly found work.

PART 2

Cultural factor
There is also a cultural factor that contributes to the fact that the integration into society and the labor market generally goes better for migrants from more neighboring countries than for those who come from the third world.

- We have seen that historically when it came to refugees from Hungary in 1956, Czechoslovakia in 1968 and Bosnia in the early 90s, explains Hammarstedt.

Busting myths
The language is usually said to be the key to entering the Swedish labor market. From the political left, it has also been argued that permanent residence permits, as opposed to temporary ones, would be an important factor.

The Ukrainians have shown that it can still work if you add the withers. Despite the fact that this group only has temporary residence permits according to the EU's mass migration directive and lacks the right to Swedish for immigrants (SFI), they succeed significantly better and in a significantly shorter time to go from being a burden to society to contributing to society compared to other migrant groups which gained access to the entire battery of integration-promoting measures.

However, the survey shows that the Ukrainians would probably succeed even better if, like other migrants, they also received more help in learning Swedish. It is also the biggest request from the group in the completed survey. The government and the Sweden Democrats have heeded the request and in the spring amendment budget for 2023, an extra 100 million is set aside to allow SFI education to include Ukrainian refugees as well.

Take the jobs they can get
Consistent for the Ukrainian group is also that they are prepared to take the job they get, even if it is not as qualified as the one they had in their home country. Many with a university education are not afraid to take on, for example, cleaning jobs in order to support themselves and relieve the Swedish taxpayers who were already carrying a large burden of support for other migrant groups.

Since the Russian invasion, approximately 55,000 Ukrainian refugees have come to Sweden. However, close to 20,000 of these have already returned.
