The Swedish municipality of Bengtsfors has petitioned the national government for aid due to massive costs incurred taking in more migrants than the municipality could afford.
Local Moderate Party politician Stig Bertilsson said the multi-page letter was clear in identifying the cause of the budget deficit as being related to the large number of “new Swedes” taken in and requested aid to cover the costs, SVT reports.
“Costs in municipalities that have received new arrivals have continued to be substantial even when government revenues have stopped. This creates a large negative hole in the municipal cash register,” Bertilsson said.
When asked about tax revenues from new migrants that could bridge the deficit gap, Bertilsson said that in the long run he hoped there would be a rise in revenues but so far there has not been one, adding that the Swedish labour market “has a long way to go”.
Unemployment figures for migrants in Sweden are in fact much higher than those for native Swedes, with a report last summer showing a 19.9 per cent unemployment rate for migrants compared to just 3.6 per cent for natives.

I once thought the Swedes were really smart, hard-working people. Looks like they aren’t so smart at all if they allowed the bearded ones to overrun their country and get everything free.
How could this not work out? Diversity is our strength, and this community is stronger than any other in Switz.
When you import third world, you become third world.
The smart Swedes left the country a long time ago....
All that is left are the village idiots—and they are the ones running the government.
Dittos.
The eventual war between Muslim Europe, the Middle East and Russia/China/India will be epic.
Path to Hell, Good Intentions and all that...
Could this POSSIBLY be related?
Apparently, the immigrants didn’t understand that they were supposed to fix the dwindling Swedish workforce. Swedes aborting the next generation hasn’t worked out to well. Can’t wait to see their next plan.
I wonder how many of the “old Swedes” jumped ship and moved.
ABBA moved to Monaco.
But, when you give Other People's Stuff, it's their fault when it runs out.
They’re not true Swedes. They’re just sorta Swede-ish.
