Abstrakt: This article explores the reasons behind obligatory integration policies for immigrants in Europe. It discusses various justifications for these policies, such as self-interest, respect towards the host society, ideals of communal life, the need for communication, the responsibility to avoid reliance on welfare systems, and integration contracts. The author concludes that only the responsibility to avoid the need for assistance and integration contracts might justify these policies, but only for specific groups of immigrants. The article presents different perspectives on the topic but does not take a definitive stance. It suggests that current integration policies in many European states may be unjust and calls for a reevaluation of these policies. [Extracted from the article]
