over-represented in crime statistics, and children of immigrants are, on average, two years behind in schooling, the Liberals\u2019 (Venstre) integration spokesman, Martin Geertsen, expressed concern about the growing \u2018parallel society\u2019 in Denmark.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA commission could come up with insight and proposals into how things could be improved, both for the individual immigrant and society as a whole, because we can\u2019t afford to pay large groups of society to go around all day without doing anything,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a major cause for concern when so many immigrants from non-Western countries are so poorly integrated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Statistician Jan Pl\u00f8vsing suggested an integration commission in Sunday\u2019s Jyllands-Posten, saying it\u2019s \u2018extremely naive\u2019 to believe that the problem will solve itself in time, because unemployment and criminality have become too deep-rooted in certain communities.<\/p>\n<h2>An excellent idea<\/h2>\n<p>SPP (SF) spokesperson, Karina Lorentzen Dehnhardt, agreed that something has to be done, but said she didn\u2019t believe that problems are as bad as portrayed by Mr Pl\u00f8vsing. She said most immigrants gradually get some form of foothold in society, but acknowledged the need for a commission as there\u2019s still a \u2018massive group\u2019 that needs to be motivated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth this government and the previous Liberal \/Conservative coalition have struggled to come up with any solutions, so a commission would be an excellent idea,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Read the article <a href=\"http:\/\/www.b.dk\/politiko\/sf-vil-gerne-have-en-integrationskommission\" target=\"_blank\">on b.dk in Danish here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>universitypost@adm.ku.dk <\/p>\n<p><em>Like us on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UniversityPost\" target=\"_blank\"> Facebook <\/a> for features, guides and tips on upcoming events.
