a week ago, The Economist did a debate wondering if the world had too much or not international migration. The format of the debate is that a moderator opened the discussion with some comments, two experts give their arguments to defend each of the positions and then give readers their comments (which are on the right and in my opinion are the most interesting debate .) It is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the subject.
As The Economist (and therefore the readers) a magazine with a clear line in favor of globalization and deregulation of markets, not surprisingly, that there was not much out-migration. However, I was struck by two things, first, that the result was tighter than I expected from readers of The Economist (65% vs 35%) and second, that most of the comments against not focused on economy (as I would expect from a reader of The Economist) but how immigration threatened the local culture by the lack of integration.
So I would like English overcoat gather opinions on the integration of immigrants. I have mine, and surely will set in later comments, but am more interested in reading those of others. There are 3 questions and answers put some sort, but it is not a test, answer qualifying everything you wish.
1) When you consider that an immigrant is integrated?
a) As respects the local laws.
b) As respects the law and speak the local language.
c) In addition to (b) assumes the traditions / customs / local beliefs that oppose their own.
d) In addition to (b) assumes the traditions / customs / local beliefs completely.
2) How long do you think you may require an immigrant to reach this level of integration morally? And legally?
a) immediately.
b) Six months.
c) One year.
d) Two years.
e) three years.
f) I do not think you can require anyone join.
3) How many immigrants do you think is good to come to a country?
a) I do not think there are limits.
b) They are as long as positive for the economy.
c) those while not affecting the local culture.
d) those coming from countries as culturally similar.
e) those coming from countries as rich.
f) I think it's better than everyone stays at home.
Bonus Question: Have you lived outside your country? If so, you tried to integrate? To what extent?
