Migrant crisis: Sweden border checks come into force
BBC News ^ | JAN. 3, 2016

Posted on 01/03/2016 7:38:29 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

Sweden has introduced identity checks for travellers from Denmark in an attempt to reduce the number of migrants arriving in the country.

All travellers wanting to cross the Oresund bridge by train or bus, or use ferry services, will be refused entry without the necessary documents.

Rail commuters heading to Sweden will now have to change trains at Copenhagen Airport and go through ID checkpoints.

Sweden received more than 150,000 asylum applications in 2015.

Thousands of commuters cross the Oresund bridge daily. It connects the Swedish cities of Malmo and Lund with the Danish capital, Copenhagen.

To comply with the new regulations imposed by Sweden, fencing has been erected around one of the platforms at the railway station at Copenhagen's Kastrup Airport, Radio Sweden reported.

Direct journeys from Copenhagen's main railway station across the Oresund Bridge to Sweden will no longer be available.

Requiring ID is racist.

Yep. And I suspect it's even worse than that. Suppose immigrant A wants to bring in wife B and sons C and D. Will Sweden stop that? I don't think so.

Dear Sweden;

Being white is a fabricated crime, as is national identity.

You are being sold some guilt laden trip that is not your cross to bear.

Act accordingly.

Yours, spacebar

I have never been to Sweden. Since I was a kid I hoped to maybe get there and see it. God fearing white people up there near the arctic circle with some semblance of cultural cohesion and sanity. What happened?

More like "...wives B and C and sons D, E, F, G, H, I, J, and K."

EU countries will be forced to do the unthinkable. They will cut the welfare goodies that these immigrants are relying on. Once the benies go, they will too.

No, I think it is too late. And I'd say it's too late for Britian with it's 3 million disguised arrogant muslims. And also too late for Denmark and of course, far too late for France. Belguim is long ago gone and Germany's gone too.
