The guest column emphasizes that Finland can no longer sustain the rapid influx of immigrants seen in recent years, pointing to the alarming statistics that show a significant percentage of job seekers are non-native speakers. The author criticizes the Orpo and Purra government for its failure in immigration policy, highlighting that the administration's focus is solely on integrating those already in Finland, ignoring the pressing need to manage future immigration more effectively.

Currently, Finland is home to approximately 700,000 non-native Finnish speakers, with an annual increase of around 50,000 newcomers, which has led to a considerable rise in unemployment among immigrants. The growing population of non-Finnish speakers in municipalities like Vantaa and Espoo has reached troubling levels, with one in three residents unable to communicate in the country's primary languages. This trend raises urgent questions about the sustainability of such rapid demographic changes without adequate support and integration measures.

The author argues that while Finland should remain open to immigrants with job prospects, the current situation calls for a reevaluation of immigration policies to address the large number of unemployed or underemployed working-age residents. Acknowledging the challenges rather than avoiding them is presented as crucial for developing a sustainable approach to immigration in Finland, as policymakers need to confront these issues transparently and responsibly.
