Editor Says Sweden’s Economy Needs More Immigrants[semi-satire]

Åsa Linderborg, the editor of Sweden’s Aftonbladet newspaper, contends that “Sweden’s economy would collapse without illegal immigrants. The influx of large contingents of these people creates extra demand for housing and welfare. This helps support the building trades and social workers, not to mention stimulating Swedes to work longer hours to pay the taxes needed to fund these benefits. Even the violence springing from these unassimilated new residents provides jobs for police, firemen, hospitals, morticians, and insurance adjusters.”

The fact that few of these new immigrants have jobs—only 500 of 2015’s 160,000 immigrants are employed—was dismissed by Linderborg as irrelevant. “Granted, these people aren’t contributing much to the supply side, but their robust demand injects a vital stimulus. In a complex economy can we really afford to reject a specialized role for different segments of the population?”

The “Refugees” are nothing more than the stone thrower in the “broken window fallacy” liberal fairy tale, this story doesn’t give the glazier a job, but leaves everyone in the village destitute because the guy keeps throwing stones breaking crap and everyone quickly runs out of discretionary savings trying to fix all the broken crap until the village soon looks like the middle eastern hell hole the “refugee migrant” came from....
