Sweden took a third as many refugees as the US last year.
I live in central coast Cali. If my message came out as "all the immigrants are flipping burgers" then i have to apologize cause that was not at all what I meant. But when you drive past the fields going into central California you won't see many Caucasian americans.
Yes, the US needs to do more about refugees, I agree. However, in terms of immigration, Sweden isn't going to touch the US, unless Sweden doubles wants to double its population every 10 years. From 2011, Sweden is still 90% Swedish, and 95% Nordic.
I am just depressed we only have 4.3 million Swedish Americans, a little under half the population of Sweden itself. I always like when the diaspora in the US is bigger then the home country.
And yes, immigrants typically do menial jobs, that's kinda why they immigrate to the US. There is a job opening that the native born population don't want, and it pays better then in the immigrant's home country. However, there is also a large percentage of the immigrant population that own businesses, or came here for study, or came here for high paying jobs. Most of my company are Chinese immigrants with graduate degrees from American universities. And not all immigrants in the food industry flip burgers. I can drive 15 minutes from where I am right now, and pretty much have any cuisine I want from immigrants from that country.
EDIT: I was trying to say that you guys take more workimmigrants and in many parts of Europe it is more refugees and therefore you don't get the same types of multicultural problems as we do.
Ok, I completely misunderstood you, and I am too tired to work on this edit. So lets call it a night, and let everyone else have their fun
