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.

It's what they do - they know that sin sells very well. Satan rewards them handsomely with riches and fame. In this world...

Virtue signaling swine like Louise Meijer never seem to pay a price for foisting their destructive leftist policies on the world.

How many ordinary folks have been killed, maimed, robbed or raped by low-IQ, West-hating, unskilled "refugees" because of the actions of scumbag, sociopathic politicians and the parasitic bureaucrats who orbit them and serve them?

It's far, far past time that they did pay a price, and a huge one at that.

Trusting the uncivilized to operate within your cultural norms is like expecting a feral cat to instantly become a loving house cat.

It’s too late, Louise. You’ve reached the tipping point and will never get rid of them. You are now a repressed Muslim country.

Just goes to show how incompetent ‘leaders” today are. Anyone with two brain cells cells have predicted this.

No, socialists are not blind.

They believe themselves to be superior in intellect, compassion and morality.

That is the type of arrogance you do not want in a leader.

one third of the population of sweden is foreign? those people are done.

they can never rid themselves of 1/3 of the population. nor does it seem the can stop their own percentage slide.

they have lost the ability to preserve themselves.

It appears that you have them WAY outnumbered, so...

...what will you do with your advantage?

I don‘t think anyone could count them any more. But they are, at least, home now with the Lord, where nobody can ever hurt them again😇

Amen.

P.S.: the term „virtue-signaling swine“ is really appropriate. They believe themselves to be good, but are indeed evil people. Very evil.
