Migration challenges: the British and the burka
(c) The Guardian - Alamy
In response to recent posts Immigration, my friendEduardo Retamero sent us this delightful: a Guardian article that makes clear that the British community resident in Spain has no intention of joining.
To move forward we should agree on the term “integration”. The previous post is illustrated with a cartoon of The Broken representing two immigrants dancing the jota. No need to get to that end: or maybe learn the local languages and what could be considered a good indication “integration”.
The British, dice The Guardian, its “the largest contingent of foreigners in Spain and 2% of the population”.
He continues: “The popular image of British expatriate retirees is looking lonelyEastenders or satellite television,Daily Mail and en su regazo, a glass of cheap wine at the elbow and a full English breakfast in your belly or lovers of young partygoers from drinking and football. The annual report of all the consulates of : Spain tops the list in the number of deaths of expatriates(1,786) and detention (2,012)”.
“El Periodico Benny Davis, who writes for the newspaper of expatriates, EuroWeekly,said: The British tend to live in a bubble. With more and more information available in English,there are fewer reasons to learn Spanish and, accordingly,fewer opportunities to understand local culture. Many residents do not speak more than 10palabras in Spanish in an average week and who take pride in get by“.
We can open a lot of debate from this article. I propose this line:
If the British represent an important population, Why does not generate any warning nor their presence, or attitude? Why are we more alarm 1 burqa that 2.012 British detainees in a year?
My response, or one of them, is that the burka smells poverty and scrambled eggs with sausage smell of wealth. And I do not want to look overrun by poverty.
Therefore, the debate is not about integration. We give a damn (roughly) integration. The immigration debate, Like all debates, is about wealth. We thus expected.

Interesting…but is based on the principle that an immigrant must necessarily be integrated, Morocco is, British and Ecuadorian, whatever. Why does an immigrant to be willing to integrate? Not this a matter that the host wants the immigrants want to integrate? An immigrant leaves his country for objective reasons, be they economic or weather…may well have wanted to play his style of life in another country without having contact with the culture of that country, what's the problem, not be integrated?
