Finland as an unattractive country for immigrants
“Numerous studies have shown that Finland needs more immigrants. Max Arhippainen points out that in the current debate essential issues are being overlooked: “It’s also important that people have the desire to come here. We Finns aren’t particularly willing to take in foreigners. The rules must enable people to find proper employment here. However most of our immigration policies were formulated at a time when the main goal was to make the borders as tight as possible.” Arhippainen calls for changes to the asylum procedure: “Those who are given B status are not allowed to study or work here. The Council of Europe’s anti-racism committee has quite rightly criticised this on numerous occasions. The strategy of refusing people the right to make a living is pure madness – both in human and economic terms.” europe.courrierinternational
