Sweden plans wider police powers in clampdown on asylum seekers

STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Swedish police will be able to raid companies to catch illegal migrant workers under new proposals announced on Thursday, part of the center-left government's clampdown on asylum seekers whose applications have been rejected.

Sweden made an abrupt U-turn last year on decades of generous immigration policies, introducing border controls and tighter rules after 163,000 people applied for asylum in 2015.

With numbers down sharply, the government has turned its focus to sending back those who have been told they cannot stay, many of whom have gone underground.

"Those who have had their asylum application processed by the judicial system and been rejected must go home again," Migration and Justice Minister Morgan Johansson said.

Johansson said up to 40,000 people would face expulsion from Sweden this year and next.

The new measures include potential jail terms for employers hiring illegal workers and an expansion of the police's rights to conduct fingerprint testing and to confiscate passports.

The Left Party, which backs the minority government in parliament, criticized the proposal.

If you get a chance watch Swedish, Nordic or Denmark crime dramas. They are best and openly against asylum seekers and illegal immigration. Fully expose crime they bring.

e.g Wallander, Trapped, The Killing.

It’s a little late to close the barn door after the horse has bolted.

I watch them all. My grandfathdr was the child of two immigrants from Sweden.

Before me three generations of dark haired Swedish males, with photos for proof.

Sadly, it’s already too late for the Swedes.

“Sadly, it’s already too late for the Swedes.”

By what metric? Should they just give up?

The article indicates they have changed course.

By the metric of too large a breeding population of Muslims already established within their borders to retain their national identity. And no, I don’t think they should just give up; if you’re going to go down it might as well be fighting. But I do think it’s already over for them, and I find it sad. 5-6% of total population doesn’t seem like much, but it’s the birthrate that matters. If one can believe WikiIslam.net, over the last 20 years 40% of Sweden’s population growth has come from Muslim immigration and in-country Muslim reproduction. I would bet that if you looked only at men of fighting age Sweden is probably already 15% or more Muslim. You know where that’s going to lead.

Are you sure? Wallander author Mankell was a hardcore leftist, actively trying to destroy Israel.

In his youth Mankell was a left-wing political activist and participated in the Protests of 1968 in Sweden, protesting against, among other things, the Vietnam War, the Portuguese Colonial War, and the apartheid regime in South Africa. Furthermore, he got involved with Folket i Bild/Kulturfront which focused on cultural policy studies.[22] In the 1970s, Mankell moved from Sweden to Norway and lived with a Norwegian woman who was a member of the Maoist Workers' Communist Party. He took an active part in their activities but did not join the party.[23]

In 2002, Mankell gave financial support by buying stocks for 50,000 NOK in the Norwegian left-wing newspaper Klassekampen.[24][25] In 2009, Mankell was a guest at the Palestine Festival of Literature. He said he had seen "repetition of the despicable apartheid system that once treated Africans and coloured as second-class citizens in their own country". He found a resemblance between the Israeli West Bank barrier and the Berlin Wall: "The wall that is currently dividing the country will prevent future attacks, in short term. In the end, it will face the same destiny as the wall that once divided Berlin did."[26] Considering the environment the Palestinian people live in, he continued: "Is it strange that some of them in pure desperation, when they cannot see any other way out, decide to become suicide bombers? Not really? Maybe it is strange that there are not more of them."[26]

Mankell stated in an interview with Haaretz that he did not support Hezbollah.[27] In Mankell's opinion the state of Israel should not have a future as a two-state solution and this "will not be the end of the historical occupation". He said he did not encounter antisemitism during his journey, just "hatred against the occupants that is completely normal and understandable", and said that "to keep these two things separate is crucial".[26]

In 2010, Henning Mankell was on board the MS Sofia, one of the boats which took part in the flotilla which tried to break the Israeli embargo of the Gaza strip.[28] Following the Israel Defense Forces' boarding of the flotilla on the morning of 31 May 2010, Mankell was deported to Sweden. He subsequently called for global sanctions against Israel.[29] In 2010 it was reported that he was considering halting Hebrew translations of his books.[30] In June 2011, Mankell stated in an article in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz that he had never considered preventing his books from being translated into Hebrew, and that unidentified persons had stolen his identity to make this false claim.[27]

Mankell was supposed to be one of twenty Swedish participants in "Freedom Flotilla II" which never took place.[31] It was originally scheduled to sail to Gaza in June 2011.[32](wikipedia)

May he rot in hell.
