"You mean Sweden is now tougher on illegals than we are"
Hardly, they are the most liberal in the world- literally- and their city of Malmo is overrun with Muslims because of it. This appears to be a belated reaction, but it's contrary to most of their policies, which to this day allow tens of thousands of Arabs to seek Asylum each year.
It looks to me that Sweden is being proactive on not letting immigrants (legal or otherwise) into the country.
