Ideals are very nice, but sometimes you have to look at reality.
Ideally, everyone gets what they deserve and if someone doesn't do enough to get by: Tough luck, they're just low down on the ladder.
Practically, bad things happen to good people, and when someone ends up not doing well in life, either through their own fault or someone else's: They're not happy about that. It's a fact of human nature, and telling them they deserve where they are aren't going to stop them mugging you, flooding across your borders or becoming extremists.
In theory, I can agree with your ideals, in a perfect world they'd really make everything good. But in the real world they just don't cut it. You have to be willing to compromise with your ideals or you're going to end up striving for something unattainable and ignoring urgent realities.
And yes, hard as it may be to believe, people born in a country can still be badly integrated. If their parents were never properly made part of society, work will need to be done to get the children there.
It's easy to look down on the people without a future and call them lazy when you've got one yourself.
