Swedish politician regrets ‘refugees welcome’ policy: ‘We were fundamentally wrong on the immigration issue’
Brussels Signal ^ | 03 15 2024 | Carl Deconinck

Louise Meijer, an MP for Sweden’s centrist Moderate party, apologised to voters for her previous position on open borders. She regrets “making mistakes” by “pleading for openness and refugees [being] welcome”, she says.

Meijer says she “changed her mind” over her views, in an opinion piece for Expressen this week.

“Now, instead, I am advocating an even stricter migration policy than the one I opposed at the time,” she says.

Political sentiments around migration have shifted swiftly in Sweden, with now even leaders of the Social Democrats saying they favour more strict migration policies.

Sweden today is a “completely different country than it was at the end of the 20th century”. Per capita, it has “received the most immigrants in the Western world” in modern times, Meijer writes.

Today, “more than a third of Sweden’s population has a foreign background. In 1987, the corresponding figure was 11 per cent.”

Meijer is her party’s leader in the Swedish Parliament’s Justice Committee, and is from the same party as prime minister Ulf Kristersson.

Kristersson, since October 2022, leads a minority government, with support from the right-wing Sweden Democrats.

The Sweden Democrats became the second largest party in the Riksdag in the most recent elections, driven by firm opposition to immigration.

Currently “about 20 per cent of our inhabitants are of non-European and non-Western descent”, Meijer says.

At least she is seeing what immigration is doing to Sweden, unlike the Democrats!!

I will be very interested in seeing what kind of repatriation program they come up with. It could be that simply paying each illegal $10,000 to leave and stay gone (if you return you die) would be the cheapest option.

Along that thought I have been wondering how PDJT is going to get rid of what amounts to a couple of divisions of military-aged males that have taken up residence here in the USA?

Only way out of this mess is to utilize Viking methods upon the ragheads and whatever other riffraft they allowed into their country.

Only thing they understand is violence and the understanding of how brutal those in power are.

1500 plus years of that being the only way to control the ragheads.

(((Meijer))) was a big proponent of non-white and moslem immigration - until they turned on Jews.

The American-born Swedish-Israeli Barbara Spectre was famously pro Muslim immigration into Europe. I wonder if she still is?

Enjoy your ARAB RAPE BASTARD CHILDREN Sweden!

Can your hate.

Many ordinary Europeans did not want this. And when they resisted, they were censored by foreign tech oligarchs, and even imprisoned by their governments for "hate speech."

Very apt term. May I borrow it?

Certainly. I did.

Nice try. The vast majority of this world has, and still is, ran by old white men.

Women run most HR departments, police departments, cities, courtrooms, schools, and almost every kids’ classroom.

This Jew has learned absolutely nothing, and in fact has double down on her project of destroying any residual of European nationalism and European identity.

(while at the same time being delighted at how Israel has its own culture, its own land, its own nation... etc etc)
