A growing number of images circulating on social media show that illegal migrants arriving in the European Union in droves have not yet managed to integrate into Western societies.
According to Robert Gonczi, an analyst at the Migration Research Institute, it is not only first-generation migrants who can easily slip into the margins of society, but this is also true for second- and third-generation migrants, as well.
Multiple generations of immigrant forebears, that is, those whose parents or grandparents immigrated to the given country, do not necessarily find their place, as they no longer belong to the cultural sphere of their parents or grandparents, but they also do not really belong to the given social order they live in either. In this existential uncertainty, they often turn to various radical ideologies and the use of illegal drugs.
The expert explained that due to this identity crisis, the use of various mind-altering drugs is very common within the immigrant communities, and members of these groups often turn to radical political ideologies.
In Paris, for example, masses of immigrants have become homeless, earning their daily subsistence through illegal activities such as stealing or selling drugs.
A video posted on Twitter shows that homeless migrants are a huge problem in the French capital. One Twitter user expressed his opinion on the migrant situation in Paris, writing, the
Once idyllic and beautiful Paris has turned into a hellhole in incompetent Macron's France. Protests, vandalism, homeless migrants camping in major streets, arsonists, crime... elections have consequences.
Robert Gonczi says that integration problems will persist until Western societies provide immigrants with a crutch to rebuild their identity.
But Paris is not the only place where migrants are camping in droves. More than a thousand people are living in the rough near Calais, waiting for some way to get to Britain.
There are multiple instance of repeat offenders among the homeless migrants, many of whom also have psychological problems. Not long ago, one such recidivist asylum seeker abducted, raped and then murdered a 17-year-old French girl in Lyon.
