The question is, is this happening in quantities that large.
If any quantity of illegal immigration is OK with you, then why have borders at all?
By your comment, they are therefore not immigrants, they are spearhead colonizers.
No, obviously they aren't colonizers. These conversations are typically low quality enough without purposely misrepresenting terms.
None the less, as evidenced by newspaper articles in Germany and Sweden there are many that state that recent immigrants are not assimilating.
By your definition in your comment above, if they do not assimilate then they are .. (in your words) ?
FWiW if immigrants are not assimilating I'd put that down to what resources are being put into integrated housing, education, etc. and whether those resources are stretched, etc.

which is a crux, given populations can only assimilate so many new people in any given time period and that is mediated by how much effort goes toward welcoming people in.We have examples in Australia over the past six decades that demonstrate segragated communities with no programmed support remain isolated from mainstream society for longer than communities that are spread about more and given support to find work, learn languages, and have their children make friends with other Australian children.
I don't know enough about Sweden and Germany to comment on the issues they are currently facing.
Nice to see an example that there can be a positive outcome with allocated resources. I'm not sure how it would affect their electability among affected populations, but (I'm in the UK and) I'd like to see Labour addressing this problem by proposing solutions like you're suggesting.
I'm definitely not anti-immigration, not even close, but to say that it didn't have a negative impact on those native people seems strange?
In the long run, positive impacts yes.

And so on.
Giving these fucks (which is putting it way, way too mildly), or anyone who remotely supports them, one inch, causes so much more harm than any specter you could conjure.
And of course, the AfD supports all sorts of neo-liberal BS, and doesn't support worker's rights. It's just the same old, same old: the actual exploiters playing the little people against each other.
Germany is a rich country. We can afford immigrants. We cannot afford Musk and his ilk. Nobody can.
Also, as a bonus, Musk is totally afraid of things being told how they are, just one of many examples: https://www.theregister.com/2022/11/14/musk_twitter_rpc_spat...
And Elon is frequently shows support for Putin's side. His tweet is giving support to an extremist party that is pro-Putin. And in just one weeks there are elections in Bavaria.
Germans have to come up with their own vision for the long term future of Europe. Cuz who else is going to lead Europe?
If they cant agree within Germany about anything, its natural they are going to be pushed around by everyone else.
A side, the FDP party is the best party in Germany.
Even Musk is an immigrant from South Africa
