Swedes themselves have said that they let so many poor Muslims in in the misguided hope that they would take up the traditional farming lifestyles being left behind by native Swedes, who were flocking to cities to become urban professionals. I don't think it ever occurred to them that young Muslim males would reject that concept, and choose to instead live unemployed, government funded existences in the slums of Malmo and other cities. It was more a policy driven by naive stupidity than cultural self-loathing.

Silly as it sounds, we've done something similar in America - importing Mexicans to do the agricultural work young citizens turn up their noses at. It's just that Mexican immigrants so far have far less interest in reconquista than Muslim immigrants do in jihad.

I think it is that most Mexican youths actually find work in the U.S., and then they go about trying to build a decent life for their family. They come to the United States and they see a country that is not governed in the corrupt manner that Mexico is, and they do not see a need for a reconquista, or they lose the desire for such. So they assimilate as best they can, and given the illegal status of so many the assimilation can never be complete.

Based on personal experiences, I would rather have a motivated, non-English speaking employee whom I will have to spend six-months training than many of the graduates of our public school systems who have no motivation, no skills and reject the training needed to become productive.
