Sorry of delayed response guys. Busy days in the office.

There are so many variables affecting the success or failure of immigration policies. Socioeconomic background of the new immigrants is of course one. However, if the topic of discussion is the integration of Turkish immigrants, Turkish immigration to Europe has stopped many decades earlier. Is it fair to blame those "Anatolian peasants", unqualified, uneducated workforce once in demand in post-war Europe 40-50 years ago. If those immigrants' children and even grandchildren who were born, raised and educated in Europe are still not fully integrated, is it because of their peasant grandparents? Or something else.
Going back to American example... Integration of an immigrant in immigrant-friendly and cosmopolitan parts of the country, like my state of NJ, or NYC, or California, etc, is not an issue at all. I as a immigrant did not have any difficulty to blend in. Some of my Turkish friends who landed on Midwest, or deep south were not as lucky as me because of local people's attitude.
So, locals attitude towards immigration is also very important parameter to consider.
One last note... Assimilation or integration... What people understand out of these terms is also an important parameter determining the success or failure.
Here in NJ, I visit a Chinese car mechanic who speaks an English that I don't understand at all. Once a week I go to a Korean farmers market and all labels are bilingual (Korean with big fonts, English with small fonts). I hear at least 4-5 different languages spoken around me every single day. I see Indian elders doing their leisurely afternoon walks wearing a linen wrapped around their body. Yet nobody is complaining about the lack of integration. Because, the society is integrated already regardless of cultural differences, which tend to disappear in due course of time by itself.
Yet, in Europe, say in France, one's refrain from pork can be perceived as an integration issue. And the net result is a total failure.
What I am trying to say is if you really would like to see integration/assimilation of immigrants, there are several success formulas around that you can copy or build upon. There is no need to invent things which have been already invented.
And the integration formula that you push in most of Europe is doomed to fail, because its principal aim is not integration, but segregation.

I don't know anything about Swiss system. What I talked about was about German system. And I talked about it based on veritable information and statistics around. I stand by what I said.
And my educational background as a scientist forbids me to accept a dogmatic explanation like "Swiss system is like this. German system should not be different. Therefore, case closed."
As for the victim mentality... We Turks can be many things, play many roles, yet playing the victim is not a strong card in our cultural repertoire.
