I'm sorry are you against the general premise that poverty drives crime? Are you saying you don't have bad neighbourhoods in Finland, or if they exist, that they are not linked to low income? Are you saying that these areas didn't exist before the immigrant waves? Education is free in most of Europe, so what? How many of these people go to school as adults?

I'm curious what's your answer to my initial question: what will happen when a bunch of families with minimum wage will move to a middle-class zone of 10k monthly income per family? I had trouble integrating with locals and I've tried my best to be very friendly and respectful. I have a hard time believing that someone much poorer and less educated will have an easier time making friends in such a neighbourhood.

Cool, but that's not the point. The point is EU took way more immigrants than it can handle without a plan per se. What do you expect from people who have no opportunities and are often seen as pariahs by the locals? The priorities should have been to help them land a job asap, get them through integration programs in parallel and provide housing based on income, in mixed areas, until they get on their feet. But no, let's treat them like livestock because some of them will eventually get on the track and contribute to the society, and those who can't... well, they only really affect the very poor, so no biggie :)
