To stroll through certain corners of Kreuzberg, the Turkish-immigrant enclave near the centre of Berlin, is to enter another world, one that is not fully German but does not really resemble modern Turkey either.
The Turks here, most of whom have been residents for almost half a century, are disconnected: Many adults don’t speak much German; home ownership is rare; women cover their heads far more than they do in Turkey; and jobs tend to be within the neighbourhood, with few links to Berlin at large.

But the experience of the 3.5 million Turks in Germany – by far the country’s largest and most controversial immigrant group – suggests her rhetoric is less a rejection of integration and more an acknowledgment that the German state has failed, more than anywhere else in Europe, to allow integration to happen.
It offers a cautionary lesson to Canada, where Ottawa is studying the German-modelled idea of foreign workers being granted temporary permits, in which they are expected to return to their home countries after a few years. In Germany, that policy led to a 50-year cultural disaster.

Ghettoization is becoming more pronounced in the GTA as each year goes by. Clearly the immigration policies are not working as intended.

I am a new immigrant who has travelled around in Europe and North America a bit. Yes, there is a massive ghettoization taking place in GTA, and other major cities.

"...an acknowledgment that the German state has failed, more than anywhere else in Europe, to allow integration to happen."
Muslims have failed to integrate in *every* western country... to make it sound like this is a German problem glosses over the real problem. Islam will not allow Muslims to integrate... they are commanded to overcome the host country.
