If immigration is down in recent years, what then is the point of all this? Just for right-wingers to make political hay?
Pretty much, yeah. There is a legit problem with organized crime and gang affiliations with predominantly immigrant leadership that recruit children for hits and are difficult to bring down.
So the right wing coalition (that has the nationalist party for support) goes after the legal honest immigrants with jobs that pay taxes and nobody has a problem with except the racists.
They even go after 18 y/o that have grown up in Sweden, that are Swedish in every sense of the word, that have had their upbringing and education paid by Sweden, but now they are of legal age and are sent to some country they have no relation to except their parents fled from there. Even disregarding it being inhumane, it’s plain stupid in all the economic reasons that the right wing are always claiming.

Ah yes, thanks, I do recall reading about that, but wasn’t sure if that was in Sweden or other Nordic nation. (or all of them to some extent, perhaps?)
As for the rest; it’s remarkable (and very sad) how SWE seems to be sharing that broken approach to immigrants, as with USA. Just that it’s not as completely insane there, at this point.
Since the nazi party stole voters from most parties, everyone is trying to be an asshole around immigration and climate in order to lure them back. This has twisted both the debate and policies in an extreme right direction while most voters are in favor of some immigration and would rather improve integration than sending all our nurses back to where they came from.
So even though they have 20% of votes they have shifted policies in there favor across the board.
Wait, there’s an actual NAZI party in Sweden? oO
Sverigedemokraterna (SD) are a nationalist party that the nazis vote for but they are officially not nazis though they have nazi roots and were quite openly nazi some thirty years ago when the leader Jimmy Åkesson joined despite him claiming otherwise.
No idea. The reason I read so much about migration is that I don’t understand why it’s such a big issue for many people.
Sure, it can be done better, but that’s true for almost everything in politics, so why is this so contentious?
Many of those moved into an asylum return centre have held jobs for years and can speak the language
Wait, the most integrated people are also the most easy to get a hold on and deport? You don’t say? /sssssss
If I’m just going to say it: there is a large group of people who enjoy humiliating or harming others. Usually these people only attack if their victim does not fight back. In politics, I am certain that some people vote for this shit because they can’t wait to get their hands on a minority that is unable to fight back, such that they can do politically and in a group, what they habitually do in their personal life as well. If in doubt, look at ICE.
