Put a stop to segregation
Segregation and discrimination against immigrants is a tragedy for the individuals concerned, but is also a serious waste of resources for the society at large. Many immigrants in Sweden are being left outside the labour market and have become subject to passivity and dependence on welfare benefits.
Sweden needs a liberal integration policy that liberates every individual’s power of initiative. The key to better integration is more jobs and better school results. Schools must be reformed to focus on knowledge, and on the Swedish language in particular. A person applying for Swedish citizenship should have a certain knowledge of Swedish.
A “job and development guarantee” should be introduced, offering all immigrants the possibility – and the obligation – to work. We must put an end to isolation and welfare dependence.
We also need to strengthen the fight against discrimination and increase the presence of police in segregated areas.
