    Lets not forget that when talking about ancestors of the past they did not have the benefits of todays immigrants (medical, unemployment, bilingual, welfare, etc..)

    Maahanmuuttoahan on monenlaista ja tuskinpa kellään on työperästä maahanmuuttoa mitään vastaan, mutta sitten on nämä parrakkaat "sotalapset" ja kun sitä kritisoi niin sitten leimataan kokonaan maahanmuutto vastaiseksi.

    Did The finns get all social benefits when moving to America?Did another groups get the "all inclusive" free treatments when immigrating just were they wanted? that we are giving now to the mostly muslmin men 16-45yr old who are coming here and receive all free healt care, theeth are fixed Even with gold because "it is in their culture." There has been 20000-50000euro operations on immigrants theeth. I go to work and pay all of these with My taxes and cannot Even afford a private dentist to fix my own few theeth so most finns have to go to The citys non private healthcare center and have to wait at least 3months for one 30min Time to the dentist exept If you are in great pain they Will fix The main issue quite fast but all other thooths are not noticed at all. We give them free housing and all furniture and everything that person could ever need. All brand new. Tv's bikes,computers,phones.. new phones because they all have smartphones when arriving and new brand clothes but The passports has always ended up in the ocean or vanished somewhere else after traveling and having fun for a quite while in many EU countries posting their party pics on Facebook... 3/4 age tested had lied their age to Be younger cos its better to Be under 18 right? Of course. We cannot compare in anyway The situation when finns moved to America and supported themselfs! And in Sweden. The finns went to work to the factories in Sweden cos they could not find enough swedish workers who would do the hard work. Nowdays all we have is people moving there where the free money is handed out for doing nothing and no reason to go to work because the money they get is pretty much the same so why the hell go to work.

      When most finns went to Minnesota, they were shunned, and became like the irish.
      You could find bars with "No finns" signs on them at the time.

    In the 70´s - 80´s Finland took refugees from Vietnam and everything was great. Now they are coming from places, mostly from Africa, for the belief that we have better income. Our unemployment is high, so it takes a lot of strain for finish people, I have heard many times that most people don´t want to work just take the social money. There are courses and courses for foreign people and i feel that we are not so important. I am an immigrant child from Australia, they needed labor in the 60´s and my parents found jobs, for personal reasons had to move back to Finland. As Olli said 4 years ago it is not racism, but people that are leaching to us!

      sirpa jääskeläinen As a Vietnamese American, I’d like to clarify that those Vietnamese refugees from the 1980s were and definitely still are very grateful to any country that took them in (whether it is the United States, Canada, Germany, Nordic countries, and Japan, etc). Many went on to integrate into any society they moved to and took part in creating vibrant communities abroad. The Vietnamese can assimilate so easily and willingly that their children from the second and third generations often lose the ability to speak the Vietnamese language fluently. My cousins cannot speak Vietnamese but they can understand everything perfectly so there’s no way I can badmouth them behind their backs 😂 . There are still the newly arrivals who complain about everything but I almost always school them and constantly remind them to be grateful that they have the chance to live in America. Nevertheless, the so-called “refugees” and “immigrants” you describe only seem to leech off from taxpayers’ money and they are ungrateful parasites. Believe it or not, the majority of us Vietnamese hate those who rely on government handouts (there’s an ongoing joke in Vietnamese community against those who live on welfare on purpose) and hence, many vote Republican. Protecting your culture isn’t racism. Many white people from North America and Europe move to Asia but they do not receive benefits from those governments and they certainly aren’t imposing their cultures. I wonder why can’t Scandinavian countries do the same. I always admire Finland’s education system but it seems like political correctness has corroded education and common sense. Still, you need to take back your country and deport those who don’t even have an ounce of respect toward Finnish culture and people. They don’t deserve to live in Finland.

      ja 4% kansasta on äidinkieleltään ruotsinkielisiä eli virallimen kaksikielisyys on keinotekoista ja ylimitoitettua.
      Suomessa on myös 3 eri saamen kieltä.
      Pohjoisruotsi on alkujaan täysin suomenkieleistä aluetta, mutta ruotsalaiset ovat tehneet kielen olemassa olon niin vaikeaksi, että sekin on sieltä suurimmalta osin hävinnyt.
      Ruotsalaisten suhtautuminen suomenkieleen on aina ollut hyvin väheksyvä ja kielteinen, näin on edelleen.

    Immigration is nothing new in Usa. USA was actually built on immigration and nothing will change that. I am a native Finn and i speak Finnish as my first language and i live in Finland so the immigration is kind of a new thing. Still in the 90s you would not see a single immigrant unless you lived in Helsinki but nowadays you see all the colors on the street in most of the cities here. And i must say that i dont give a damn about the color of the skin but political and religious beliefs kind of scare me. I am an atheist myself and i do accept people believing in gods, angels and such but the other beliefs like women being subhumans or death sentence for being a homosexual are not my cup of tea. I just want all people to be equal but islam is an extremely racist religion and i do not like that.

    One of my friends that visited america pretty much said samething about girls over there, and if you didnt get girl from bar you could always pick one from the streets.
    Well, here in nordic countrys girls has to go thru medical exams to "confirm" that she got raped.
