@marilenaganea6578 I immigrated to the country where I now live after applying for and getting a job, applying for and getting work and residence permits. After learning the country's two languages and waiting the required 5 years I applied for and was granted citizenship. So I have little sympathy for 'economic migrants' who pose as refugees. Though I do have sympathy for those genuinely fleeing persecution.
Perhaps I can ask you a question about Romania, which has long been very multi-ethnic -- Romanian, Hungarian, German, Romany, Jewish ethnic groups -- and has many religions -- Catholicism, Protentatism, Ortrthodox, Judaism. How well would you say these groups have integrated to form one functioning society? In particular, what steps have the various governments taken to integrate the Romany population-which is perhaps the oldest 'migrant' group, having lived in the area for hundreds of years - and how succesful has integration of the Romany population been?
