Doing everything perfectly and this is what he gets. At the same time serial rapists get infinite possibilities even tough they never show any remorse.
Cross post from r/Suomi
Basically, he graduated from Metropolia as an electronics engineer, has a job (contract ends this year), and speaks fluent Finnish. He tried to change his residence permit from a student visa to a work visa but was denied and received a deportation order. The problem stems from the Interior Ministry (TrueFinns) treating the Palestinian passport as not a valid national travel document, while the Foreign Ministry(Kok) treats it as valid.
Summary from the article:
>Fayez Bassalat, 25, a Palestinian from Ramallah, was given a 30-day deportation order by Finnish Immigration Service (Migri).
>He must leave Finland voluntarily within 30 days because his application to change his residence permit from student to worker was denied.
>The denial is based on a 2023 change in immigration law requiring a valid national travel document for residence permits; Finland does not recognize the State of Palestine as a country, so Palestinian passports are not considered “national travel documents” under Migri’s interpretation.
>The Ministry for Foreign Affairs, however, continues to treat the Palestinian passport as a national travel document and issues visas on that basis — the two agencies interpret the law differently.
>Bassalat graduated as an electronics engineer from Metropolia University of Applied Sciences, speaks fluent Finnish, works there as a project engineer (contract until year-end), paid his own studies (~€30,000), and has integrated into Finnish society.
>Returning to the West Bank would be economically insecure and potentially dangerous for him.
>He is considering hiring a lawyer to appeal Migri’s decision, but legal fees are high (about 1.5 months’ salary).
I know him he’s a great guy, and I’m also an immigrant so i’m not surprised. Shows how rotten the Finnish system has become over the years.
Finland is a deeply racist and xenophobic country. Anyone who thinks otherwise is living in denial. It is not just writing racist comments online or shouting racial slurs on streets, it is pretty much everywhere. In employment, media, housing, Migri, banking, public institutions, social circles, etc.
I have heard a lot of racism even from “left wing” who support immigration. They were saying things like how some cultures are inferior and that they don’t like Muslims.
For way too many Finns, immigrants are tax paying tools, not humans. We should start treating immigrants as humans, and not put any label on them based on their employment status, skin color, religion or background.
Edit: I’m getting down votes, okay but provide a reasonable argument, instead of just down voting the comment.
Why do such people get kicked out yet there’s entire families here where one person works and everyone else is just existing? My god
Absolute disgrace of a decision
It’s bureaucracy not rasism you asses! As Palestine is not recognized as a country(yet), he doesn’t have the needed documents. I believe if he does as he tends to do and hires a lawyer, thid could be resolved.
And then they know know why the country is so fuck up with no talents coming to work here….
Meanwhile, child murderers, rapists, arsonists and war criminals from the IDF are welcomed with open arms in Finland.
I looked at the US and and the UK and thought – at least Finland will never fall to the enshitification that those states have sunk to… Fuck. Whose door step do I shout out with my megaphone – like that is going to make any difference.
Migri is a racist apparatus intended to keep people away
The country which kept their swastika mil flags and has a president that is good friends with Trump and goes golfing with him?
Shocked
What’s the surprise? the rule change in 2023 was specifically designed to get rid of people like him, carefully crafted, but none cared and in fact even when I mentioned it back then I got hate how it was not that.
1. Lane change changes: Prevents refugees from seeking employment and change their shitty asylum situation to work based, which is objectively better for everyone.
2. Refusal of residence permit if immigration “crimes” have been made: Immigration crimes like crossing the border to ask for asylum, mistakes in paper application, legal cases during immigration, not having a valid passport, etc… while already existent, they were previously not grounds for anything since none of that was immoral in nature or unethical. Since the more paperwork you make and have the higher the chances, the more you apply yourself into Finnish bureocracy (the more integrated you try to be), the more likely you hit one of these situations. It seems not to affect asylum applicants that remain within the kela freeloading state.
3. Passport changes, they will now not accept several passports from several countries they either not recognize or downright not accept their criteria; this does not affect asylum applicants that live purely in welfare, only other permit types. [3rd is what hit him]
And for anyone claiming Finnish society this that, and racism and xenophobia; that is not it, this is not what you see from rather neutral Finnish society; this isn’t about that. It’s goverment control going for whatever is most vulnerable to use as an instrument for votes, they are creating an instrument that can be used to push a political agenda; they are ensuring that the main type of 3rd world country immigrant that there is, is non integrated and lives in welfare within the specific confines; this creates a class that is highly controllable and still does not vote.
A party like perus cannot exist if the immigration problem is solved, it is not in their interests to fix it, but to exarcerbate it.
Even before 2023 there are anti competition clauses (incoming from EU rulings), these anti competition clauses that prevent 3rd world country nationals to do a job unless there is no Finn that can do it are a big issue for market economics and innovation; and if you don’t see the issue from that, the populism machinery is working.
Even the well intentioned left wingers are not but part of this machinery, immigrants should not be needed to put in welfare, not even those for harsh countries; the whole asylum system is corrupt, not because of hidden corruption but because the way it is designed, robbing people of autonomy in exchange of the goverment taking care of you and making taxpayers pay for it.
I come from a socialist country, pardon me, for thinking that it is just goverment incompetence sprinkled with some malice; maybe not to the level of where I come from, but you can’t escape human nature.
And whenever I say the goverment is your enemy, not your friend, it is no different than those massive coorporations people complain about; people don’t believe me.
Honest, working people like him are deported but criminals can stay? Right
Yet pro-russia russians are allowed to stay
Rules are rules. Bye bye.
Educated. ✅
Career ✅
Fluency in local lingo ✅
Clean criminal record ✅
Yet being deported by incompetent khunts in ministry.
What people don’t understand is that, just like in the US now with the ICE raids, good and honest people will always get caught up in fray when countries claim to “crack down” on immigration. It is never simply criminals.
