> don't understand the language

Seriously? It's not like the Somalis have been in Sweden that long.

Their children might not speak their language.

Most of those children wouldn't be able to communicate with their own parents, if that were the case.

Somalis are usually not spread out among the natives. They tend to clump together in ethnic enclaves where it is very easy to learn Somali (and where life is unpleasant for the unfortunate child who doesn't learn it).

And some parents do learn Swedish so their children might not know their parents native language. Or have you inspected every Somalian family in Sweden? It might not be that many, but doesn't make his point any less true.

I'd say it makes it "fewer" true ;)

Surely we can agree that if such kids exist then they must be very, very few in number?

So its okay then I guess?

Do you know of one, or is this some hypothetical think of the children argument to get sympathy?

Not just against it for children, at this point they might be grown up attending university or even working. In theory it would even apply to my colleagues which have become citizens but do not speak Swedish.

I don't believe that integration has worked well either, but it doesn't mean that I think we should "send back" people that were born here and don't have any other citizenship.

But they do.

That's actually one of the biggest problems with mass migration - that all incentives go against integration into the host culture.

This is entirely false, not every country is the USA. Sweden does not have birthright citizenship. Most Somalis and their children in Sweden are not Swedish citizens.

To add, they all retain their Somali citizenship.

Nowhere did I say anything about them being Swedish citizens - though I'll note if that distinction mattered at all (it doesn't) "most" wouldn't be good enough.

I said they weren't necessarily Somali citizens. Somali citizenship when born outside the country is more complicated than that and will not be universal.

Either way legal status is just one of many reasons why this would be a horrific crime against humanity requiring prosecution by the Hague under the Rome statutes. You're still ripping an entire ethnic group away from their homes.

>Nowhere did I say anything about them being Swedish citizens - though I'll note if that distinction mattered at all (it doesn't)

It does matter, Somalis are not Swedes. They don't belong in Sweden, much the same as Swedes don't belong in Somalia.

>You're still ripping an entire ethnic group away from their homes.

Sweden is not the home of Somalis.
