Assimilation Of American Immigration To Europe

In the Middle East, the refugee crisis has sent hundreds of thousands of immigrants all around the world. Immigrants from the refugee crisis, and around the world have turned to Europe as a new place to live. More specifically, they turned to the European Union, or the EU. The EU is comprised of 28 member countries, soon to be 27. This caused many problems. This transition was difficult for Europeans and it caused tensions among them. It has sparked nervousness among EU citizens because of things like possible terrorism. There has also been a lot of racism and hate toward immigrants and overall it has been hard for immigrants and EU citizens to adapt to the change. The EU has done a terrible job handling this crisis and has proven to be the

The immigrants simply made it hard for Europeans to adapt. In an article written by James Antle, he talks about how in Europe, two populations are living closely together. One is confident, and the other timid (Caldwell 15). The assimilation of immigrants into Europe has been difficult, and they really don't fit in very well with the Europeans. They are also overwhelming some countries, such as Sweden. Tino Sanandaji, an economist in Sweden talked about his concern for the future of Sweden. He talked about how in the next 15 years, swedes may become a minority in Sweden and there will be more immigrants than natives (Newman 21). This is hard for many Native Europeans to grasp. Eventually, if this immigration continues, they will be minorities in their own countries. With this influx of immigrants causes new crime. Alex newman talks about the increased crime in Paris. He talked about how bands of migrants and refugees parade around, wreak havoc, attack vehicles on highways, and more. The lawlessness is proving to be a huge problem for people in the EU (Newman 16). It is one major price to pay with new, unpredictable people in these countries. As well as crime, there are also more serious things to worry about such as terrorism. Most people in EU countries are concerned with terrorism that immigrants may bring. More than 50% of people living in countries like Hungary, Greece, Germany,

The European Union has done a terrible job with this. First, like briefly talked about earlier, they were overwhelmed by the large influx of immigrants coming in. Christopher Caldwell talks about how the predicted amount of immigrants into Europe were not accurate. He talked about how it was predicted that there would be few in numbers and that they would fill gaps in labor. This was proven wrong when German immigrants doubled from 3 million to 7.5 million, and the workforce stayed at only 2 million (Caldwell 6). Way more immigrants came into the EU countries then were expected, and a lot of them weren't working either. This is a huge problem that Italy has also faced. In The 70’s, emigration began to decrease in Italy and slowed down. However, by 2015, immigration rose very quickly and 8.5% of the Italian population was just immigrants (Bull 16). Italy was so used to emigration and was not prepared for the large spike of immigrants today. This issue is also similar to that in Sweden. A large part of the italian population isn't actually native, and this could continue to increase. With this large influx of immigrants, the EU simply does not have enough space to accommodate all of them. Homelessness is a huge issue. In Paris, many refugees were seeking asylum from Afghanistan, Somalia, Eritrea, and Sudan. Paris quickly became overcrowded and did not have space for all of
