Sweden’s parliament passed a law on Monday allowing authorities to revoke immigrants’ residency permits based on bad behaviour, such as having unpaid debts, doing undeclared work or links to extremist organisations.
The law, which covers pending permits but also retroactively already granted permits, is part of a wider tightening of immigration rules by the right-wing government and its support party, the nationalist Sweden Democrats, ahead of a parliamentary election in September.
The law has been criticised by the opposition and human rights advocacy groups as arbitrary because decisions would be taken on behaviour that has not been deemed criminal.
It’s basically just a law to allow companies hiring cheap immigrant labour to threaten them with deportation if they get any ideas about fair compensation.
Let’s not forget that it was a right wing government who opened the gates for unregulated immigration by essentially scrapping all rules regarding it and telling us to “open our hearts”.
This is a neo-liberal government supported by neo-nazis.
they were also the ones that passed the law which made cheap immigrant labour impossible by requiring a salary above the median for a work visa, disqualifying nurses, taxi drivers, carpenters, store clerks and so on.
