The world’s humanitarian superpower, Sweden, is changing course regarding immigration: The prime minister of Sweden, Ulf Kristersson, visited Denmark last week and said that “Sweden is 10-15 years behind Denmark in terms of immigration policy” and that they would like to follow the same path.
- Sweden has decided to extend border control with Denmark (even if Denmark has decided to abolish it as of May 12).
- Sweden wants to learn from Denmark mainly in two areas: fighting organized crime and repatriating rejected asylum seekers. While there is no news that gangs represent a big problem in Sweden, it seems that only 50% of the rejected asylum seekers are actually sent home, which creates a whole “shadow society” of people that technically don’t exist on paper.
