Sweden cannot demand integration while making belonging conditional

Integration cannot be ordered from one side. A person can learn Swedish, work, pay tax, raise children and follow the law. But becoming part of a society also requires that the society offer security, equal treatment and a believable answer to the question: if I do all this, will I ever be accepted as one of you?
