First
off, the word "Immigrant", as it's being used to describe
what's happening due to NATO's nasty wars is just a cutesy
MISUSED term for "Displaced War Refugees"
The
"Rioting problem" is the 'ghetto-ization' not the
immigrants themselves.
If you
were displaced and stuck in a slum after YOUR country was
destroyed you'd be a little disenfranchised and angry too.
Especially your children. Even economic immigrant children
have issues. And yes... That's absolutely an apologia for
people displaced by the wars the West creates to loot
extractive resources.
But let's
talk about "Economic Immigrants" not traumatized by war
and left without any good psychological care or community
support... which was left in the airstrike and artillery
rubble of their homeland...
For
instance where I live; an area of California with a large
population of Mexicans. The parents are hard working and
for the most part fastidiously law-abiding, but the
children, if the family isn't careful, become gangstas and
drug dealers.
But truth
be told, for not-so-different sociological reasons, white
middle class parents around here are, for the most part,
hard working ... but the NA and AA halls are full of their
kids, who also 'pack up' occasionally to terrorize the
local displaced workers. AKA the "Homeless".
Something
Chicano kids, in my 40 years here have NEVER done.
From the
Washington Post...
"In 2015,
when the influx of refugees and migrants to Europe from
Africa, the Middle East and Asia was highest, Sweden took
in the greatest number per capita. By and large,
integration has been a success story there, save for
incidents such as Monday night's, which have taken place
in highly segregated neighborhoods.
The
newspaper Dagens Nyheter analyzed crime statistics between
October 2015 and January 2016 and came to the conclusion
that refugees were responsible for only 1 percent of all
incidents. That has done little to assuage the
perceptions, even among Swedes, that foreigners are
culpable for the crime that does happen. A Pew Research
Center study conducted in early 2016 indicated that 46
percent of Swedes believed that “refugees in our country
are more to blame for crime than other groups.”

Ripe ground for Fascism. As with Norway where there's been
a hard swing to the right as their petro-based economy
flounders, it's been seen that Socialism of the
Nationalist variety... The kind that stops at your
national borders, easily becomes National Socialism when
times get economically or socially stressful.
And so it is in 'Merica too. Which despite it's
crapitialist underpinnings has required a so-called
Welfare State (Nationalist Socialism) to remain... for
some part of the population... mostly the white part...
stable.
