Suomalaisessa koulussa puhutaan paljon kansainvälisyydestä ja globaalista maailmasta. Se on tärkeää. Samalla on kuitenkin syntynyt ongelma, josta puhutaan aivan liian vähän: lapset tuntevat usein maailman kaukaiset ilmiöt paremmin kuin oman kotiseutunsa historian, luonnon ja kulttuurin, kertoo perussuomalaisten kansanedustaja Sara Seppänen.

Hallitusohjelman mukaisesti oikeusministeriö on valmistellut rikoslain muutoksia, joiden tarkoituksena on iskeä vakavan järjestäytyneen rikollisuuden ytimeen. Kotietsintään sekä vangitsemisperusteisiin on tulossa muutoksia ja vääryydellä hankitun mammonan voi menettää valtiolle entistäkin helpommin. Rikos ei siten Suomessa kannata ja tulevaisuudessa vieläkin heikommin.

Eduskunta käsittelee parhaillaan hallituksen esitystä, jolla kotouttamispalveluita säädetään nykyistä enemmän maahanmuuttajaa itseään velvoittavaksi. Samalla hallitus kohdistaa kotouttamispalveluihin mittavat säästötoimet. Perussuomalaisten työelämä- ja tasa-arvovaliokunnan jäsenet Miko Bergbom, Mikko Lundén, Anne Rintamäki ja Jorma Piisinen pitävät esitystä välttämättömänä suunnanmuutoksena, sillä kotouttamisen tulokset ovat olleet Suomessa heikot.
