Sweden to make it harder for non-European migrants to claim benefits

The Swedish government plans to cut social benefits for non-European immigrants in the hope of discouraging migrants from coming to Sweden.

Sweden’s coalition government is set to introduce reforms requiring immigrants from countries outside the European Union to learn Swedish and compete for jobs in the country's highly-skilled labor market.

While the details of the changes are still being worked out, the leaders of the three-party coalition and the far-right Sweden Democrats (SD) have claimed that Sweden has "significant problems" with foreign-born people who are unemployed and live on benefits.

In an opinion piece in the newspaper Dagens Nyheter on Friday (October 20), they said that over the last decade, more than 770,000 people have immigrated to Sweden from countries outside the EU and European Economic Area (EEA).

"Together with an integration policy that has made almost no demands (on immigrants) and provided no incentive to integrate into society, immigration has created a divided Sweden," they continued.

In the opinion piece in Dagens Nyheter they refered to "segregation, social exclusion, unemployment, poor school results and a lack of common Swedish values." The piece did not include official data to support its claims, nor provide information on the number of Swedish citizens who live on benefits, Agence France Presse (AFP) reports.

To receive state welfare payments, a non-EU foreigner must currently reside and be expected to reside in Sweden for at least one year.

This is like closing the barn door after the horses are all gone. At least they are doing something. I would close the door to all of the Arab immigration.

PLEASE make sure that the congressional scum from your district know your feelings! I've been hearing rumblings that Biden may take in Palestinian "refugees", since Eqypt and other raghead countries won't (they're smart enough not to!)

Nah. The Swedes are done. 30 years is time for an entire generation to have been born and has now reached adulthood.

“30 years is time for an entire generation”

Good point. Societal memory fades as the generations turn over. Nobody cares about Grandpa telling what it was like in the “good old days.”

Yeah. You’re right.

Sweden was famous in the ‘70’s for it pornographic film industry.

I guess the head choppers took care of that.
