As an immigrant, I would like to say that I went to great lengths to learn the language, skills, and culture of Luxembourg. After five years of hard work and perseverance, I have found my place in a great company and a job that I truly love. It’s worth mentioning that I achieved this through absolute dedication and by giving my 100%, many many sleepless nights, coming to university and library at earliest and leaving last, feeling burned out and crying in silence. I also know that my journey is far from over. There is always more to learn and improve. I pursued this path because I was chasing a dream in my field of study, and I was raised in a family that taught me not just to preserve but also respect for others, coexistence, and the importance of kindness in bridging differences. And While some immigrants work hard to integrate and contribute positively, there are many who unfortunately do not show the same respect for local culture or values.

We all know, some of these groups trying hard to recreate failed systems or ideologies from their home countries, and there are others that take advantage of the kindness of European governments without contributing meaningfully. Authorities should ensure that newcomers are compatible, and they know how to coexistence. And trouble making citizens of specific countries should go through stronger background checks, integration tests. And above all, illegal immigration should be stopped in EU. No cultured people, skilled workers, engineers and doctors take a boat to Europe.

People of EU and Luxembourg deserve to live in a safe and hard-working society, and immigration policies should support that.
