The Swedish welfare state has often been praised by the left in the United States. After the migration crisis of 2015, however, when Sweden was flooded by Syrian refugee claimants, Sweden is now facing a welfare crisis that threatens the entire Swedish welfare state model.
Sweden had 9.7 million inhabitants in 2015, before it received 162,000 asylum seekers. 70% of those asylum seekers came from Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq. 70% of those asylum seekers were also men. The migration crisis created an unsustainable financial and social situation that caused the Swedish political establishment to rethink its stance on asylum migration, which, until then, had been extremely liberal.
Asylum migration has continued, nevertheless. Between 2016 and 2018, more than 70,000 additional migrants have applied for asylum in Sweden, and more than 105,000 asylum migrants have been granted asylum.
There is a demographic impact from migration that affects Sweden's national and cultural identity, as well as the crushing economic impact on Sweden's welfare state.

What started as a well-intended idea of socialized medical care obviously did not include the thousands of fleabags with no social, educational, or trade skills to deluge the country's boarders. Now take a good look at what happened in Lebanon is now going to happen in Sweden. So sad to let fleabags enter the country with nothing to offer or than empty pocket and heads.
ReplyDeleteTime to turn them away prior to entry. If they flee from their country it is time for them to fight for their country at home rather than infiltrating another country and changing their culture completely..I don't buy the idea that they are fleeing suppression - that is a guise. their intent is to take over other counties and gradually spread their cancerous beliefs to their bordering countries. Wake Up!
