Regardless of culture, or religion,
the migration motive refugees have been a news headline for some time. Not always these headlines are welcoming towards refugees. Most of the time refugees are associated with problems on the labor market, availability of social benefits, difficulties linked with immigrant assimilation or integration, risks to national identity, development of organized crime, or terrorism.
