I understand. However, getting back to my original post, I still say homogenous societies who share the same basic backgrounds, ethics, morality, and so on........will be happier.

Our country was built by immigrants from all over the world.....
Doing genealogy for so long.......I totally embrace that fact....
We were the "melting pot" where all could seek freedom to live life as they chose.

However, in the past twenty years or so "diversity" has taken over to the point that we all have to be politically correct at all times. I happen to enjoy people from all cultures.........as do our adult children and their children..........I was referring to the "criminal element" infiltrating our state , selling drugs and hooking kids on drugs.......which becomes a vicious cycle and causes CRIME. A state that once was a utopia can easily be changed by newcomers bearing drugs. Thankfully, our police have good heads on their shoulders and are doing their job.....

People are happiest when they feel SAFE and SECURE....
When they do not feel a need to lock their doors........

Again, please refer to my other post re family members in Sweden and friends from Switzerland and The Netherlands, countries mentioned in the OP....
