Please show that this is true.

That’s not how immigration works. That’s how the right want you to think it works.

Empty claim.

I have literally never met anybody who has had their job taken by immigrants. '

Anecdote.

Companies aren’t allowed to pay immigrants less money than the current citizens

Of course they are. Minimum wage is not a thing in many countries.

so there’s no reason to hire an immigrant over a citizen,

Wrong.

in fact the opposite, a citizen is much more likely to understand the language and culture (although you do meet some people) and therefore much more able to integrate, and effectively operate in the business, whatever that business is.

In simple manufacturing jobs you don't need to know the local language. Also here is a google-translated segment from an article posted this year by Swedish State media: "A compilation made by the Health and Social Care Inspectorate in 2023 shows that 97 percent of the country's municipalities have health and social care staff who lack sufficient knowledge of the Swedish language to be able to understand what the patient himself is expressing and to be able to correctly pass it on."

Let me know if you would like data from other nations I mentioned.

You think Swedish state media (SVT), rated by Media Bias Fact Check as:Center Left and High Factuality ,is trying to spread xenophobia?

In 2018, Swedish Television investigative journalism show Uppdrag Granskning analysed the total of 843 district court cases from the five preceding years and found that 58% of all convicted of rape and attempted rape had a foreign background.[23][32] 40% were immigrants born in the Middle East and Africa, with young men from Afghanistan numbering 45 standing out as being the next most common country of birth after Sweden.

What tool should we use? Crime rates in their native countries?

[–] Talentlesssculptor@lemmy.world 1 points 19 minutes ago

Totally, but that obviously isn't the case since we see that a crime that is very "behind closed doors" like spousal assaults and homicide was also more prevalent amongst immigrants in Norway.

I mean, to a certain extent that is certainly true. If the taxable population stays the same, but the general population grows(through immigration or child births), then the taxable population will have to pay more to support the general population. This is often referred to as employment-unemployment ratio.

Now if the claim that one side is making "immigrants are employed to a higher degree than the native population" is true, then the other side is right about their claim that "immigrants are taking our jobs".

If, on the other hand, the inverse is true, then the immigrants not gaining employment would contribute to the drain on government resources.

It is complicated, to say the least.

Especially since the Swiss immigration standard is so rigorous. They basically only accept the kind of immigrants that will integrate easily and not contribute to crime. As such they don't even have the immigration related issues (rapes and murders) of countries like Sweden "In 2021, a study found that of 3039 offenders aged 15–60 convicted of raping over 18 years of age in the 2000–2015 period, 59.2% had an immigrant background and 47.7% were born outside Sweden."

Germany: "The statistics show that the asylum-group is highly overrepresented for some types of crime. They account for 14.3 percent of all suspects in crimes against life (which include murder, manslaughter and involuntary manslaughter), 12.2 percent of sexual offences,"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_and_crime

Denmark: "Descendants of non-Western immigrants are significantly overrepresented in criminal statistics, especially in violent crimes, traffic violations, and certain sexual offenses. "

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_and_crime#Denmark

Norway: "In September 2016, Norwegian authorities discovered that more than a million identity papers had been issued without stringent checks which enabled fraudsters to claim social welfare benefits of many persons simultaneously.[176] 2007 was the first time when foreign perpetrators of partner murders were in the majority. While 13% of Norway's population are foreigners, they represent 47% of perpetrators who have murdered their partner."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_and_crime

and the UK: "According to the data from the Ministry of Justice, obtained under freedom of information laws, foreign nationals have disproportionately committed sex crimes between 2021 and 2023. Afghans and Eritreans – were more than 20 times more likely to account for sexual offence convictions than British citizens, according to the data. Overall, foreign nationals were 71 per cent more likely than Britons to be responsible for sex crime convictions. In terms of overall crime nationals from Albania topped the crime league table; followed by Moldova, Congo, Namibia and Somalia."

"Data from the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), drawn from the Police National Computer and obtained under freedom of information laws, showed that 26 per cent of the 1,453 sex assault convictions on women in 2024 were accounted for by foreign nationals. "

Edit - Sorry, I need to support my claims. Done.

Not common, just possible. OP's story is incredible, not impossible.

Teyrnon is wrong because they claimed that there are no documented attacks of a healthy wolf attacking a person in northern America. In fact, there have been three lethal and 24 non-lethal documented attacks by healthy wolfs since 2000 in north America.

Dude, the article I linked literally mentions solitary wolves walking more than 500 km in search of a mate. Sure they "usually" move in packs, but that is what makes this story unusual, not impossible.

"Massive" is relative. To a child a 30 kg dog is massive.

Interesting, I will check it out.
