  2. I think Mashas words "not because they`re good, but because we`re good" can have two sides. on the ine hand I agree with this statement, that thecontry, who takes immigrant schould be kind to immigrants? because they are forced to leave their homes. On the other hand some immigrants are very impudent and horrible people, who don`t even know the language of contry where they live. And make some horrible things which can make a shame upon their nation. So because of such immigrants - the "normal, good" immigrants can suffer.

  3. After watching this video, I thought of only one thing: hypocrisy.The hypocrisy of politicians, businessmen, writers. They talk about tolerance. Everyone is familiar with the concept of"tolerant Europe". But when Europe was filled with immigrants, everyone forgot about it. It's nothing but hypocrisy, I think.
