SWEDEN’S open-door policy has WRECKED Europe’s most liberal nation as the Swedes turn against migrants amid an unprecedented rise in violence and sex attacks.
For years Sweden has regarded itself as a “humanitarian superpower” - making its mark by offering refugee to those fleeing war and persecution.
But people’s patience with their visitors is wearing thin following a year of violence, sickening sex assaults and the death of social worker Alexandra Mezher, 22, who was knifed to death at an asylum centre for unaccompanied children at the hands of a Somalian migrant who claimed he was 15.
At the time, her grieving mother, an immigrant herself from the Middle East said: “Immigration has destroyed Sweden.”
Sweden, a country of 9.8million, took 163,000 asylum seekers in 2015.
The influx included 35,400 unaccompanied minors - nine times more than 2015.
But nothing could prepare Stockholm for the rise in crime and an abuse of the criminal system.
And so much so, a nation, which once prided itself on giving a warm welcome to outsiders, has reported a rise in arson attacks against migrant shelters, while support for the right-wing Swedish Democrats has surged.
In January, authorities were forced to admit there were at least 70 girls in migrant centres were asylum child brides, according to the Daily Telegraph.
Meanwhile, officials fear many migrant children are slipping through the net by lying about their age. Some 667 minors reportedly had their ages adjusted by officials in 2015.
In one horrific case, a Afghan called Ali Bahaman reportedly raped a 15-year-old girl at a children’s psychiatric clinic in Stockholm.
He claimed to be 15, but dental examinations showed he was actually around 19-years-old.
And with initial good intentions, now comes the heavy backlash as the famously liberal nation crumbles under the pressure of the influx of refugees who are believed to have double the chance of becoming employed than a native Swede.
The Swedish Migration Board now keeps the location of migrant centres confidential - a decision made after a note was posted on the door of a hotel housing migrants in north Sweden saying: “This is the last warning. Leave our town.”
While welfare and housing benefits to asylum seekers have been cut.
But not everyone is hostile - Lutheran Bishop Eva Brunne called on churches in Sweden to remove crosses so it didn’t offend Muslims, which was met with an almighty backlash.
Tim Stanley, writing for the Daily Telegraph added: “Liberals beware: evidence is mounting the open borders are unpopular and will not stay open for long.
“An act of generosity is likely to be followed by an act of intolerance - as Sweden’s asylum seekers will tell you.”
Soon to be us.
Alas.
Don’t libtards become conservatives after getting mugged? The whole country got mugged.
“Experience is a dear teacher, but fools will learn at no other.”

Americans are armed.
Utopian arrogance can get you killed
1.5% + the 50+% that cater to them.
According to wikipedia, about 20% of “Swedes” were foreign born or children of foreign born.
In the U.S. Foreign born are 13% of the population. So we are in close to the same category.
Imagine the election results if we did not have 13% foreign born. Those likely include illegal immigrants, who *are* included on census forms.
So Hillary foreign policy set the Mideast on fire and destroyed Europe in the process. I am sure all the WW2 fallen and vets say - “nice job, thanks”
Love that B/F adage....co-opting it for my tagger.
...What is that? Only 1 1/2% of the population are immigrants yet the whole country is in danger....
It’s like one drop of cyanide in the office water cooler. Want a Dixie cup?

GO VIKING, SWEDES!!!
All bravado.
How long before they remove the cross from their flag? After all, they want their guests to feel comfortable.
Trnaslation: Old Ben Franklin uses the European version of “expensive” which is “dear”, thus:
“Experience is an expensive teacher, but fools will learn at no other.”
Ben Franklin uses the European term for expensive, which is dear, thus:
Experience is an expensive teacher, but fools will learn at no other.
Importing cancer. It’s what Marxists do.
