OK, this is a relatively small amount of money and certainly it will help to have some events and programs to help welcome immigrants and refugees.  What distresses me is that there is no mention of "assimilation" anywhere in this article.  The more we learn about the drivers of the immigrant discord in Europe the more clear it is that we need to be insisting upon assimilation into the existing culture in our community.  This is paramount and a simple test.  If they choose not to assimilate then they can go home with our best wishes.  Australia does a good job of this - why can't we figure it out before it is too late.
