It all makes sense once you realize that refugees won't go away because you close your borders. Rural communities are growing, not only because of new people being placed there but also because these people are having children. Since we have in place that everyone has a right to be educated in their native language (so as to not lose it), that means these children grow up to be multi-lingual. The largest issue right now, since this huge wave of refugees is recent, is that the people who want to help lack the required languages. Both within the NGO:s where I work, and in my workplace, we're scrambling to recruit people with "rare" language proficiencies.
The "doing a poor job with integration" is a relative issue, poor job compared to what? We've recently established that the distribution of refugees shouldn't be up to which community wants to contribute, but that the distribution is equal. NGO:s and the government is working hard to work together with the groups they want to integrate, and working hard to cooperate. We're not stuck in our ways, we're dealing with the issues that arrive and we're changing our methods when they prove not to be working. I think it's a fine job, given the situation, but it can always improve. It's "humming along" since we're not stuck in our ways when it comes to making changes and improvements, and there are a lot of volunteers around the country contributing. From that angle, it's quite a beautiful thing. Brown shirts tend to miss that part since they're not lifting a finger either way.
When working with new arrivals, one part is having them learn Swedish, another is giving them the chance to use Swedish, another is to give them necessary information about society so that they can take control of their lives. Language cafés, community gatherings, government jobs in administration and whatnot, they're popping up more and more all over the place.
I have a lot of contact with children who've arrived at a young age, or are second generation immigrants. These children have language skills that most sectors are screaming for right now, and within a few years a lot of them will be of working age. Then these people will work with integration, education, within health and with coaching, which will aid the effort tremendously. Language will be a very valuable asset in the future if, as I said earlier, you accept the fact that there will always be refugees in need of aid.
And yeah, I'm not for lowering wages either, but that feels like a separate issue as well (as that line has always been driven). But I do see how it can be exploited, but that's why we have unions!
