INTEGRATION FROM A LIBERAL STANDPOINT

• Every immigrant is a distinct individual.
• No integration models (like multiculturalism)
  that divide society into separate ethnic or
  religious groups, with different rights for
  different groups of people.
• We do not seek any discrimination against or
  advantages for immigrants.
• Same rights, same obligation respect the values
  of a free and democratic society. Respecting the
  law is the basis of life in a community.
• Integration in an open society based on merit is
  what allows immigrants to achieve social mobility
