Sweden’s prime minister has summoned the head of the military to discuss how the armed forces can help police deal with an unprecedented crime wave that has shocked the country with almost daily shootings and bombings.
Saying that immigration is not part of the problem is laughable at this point. I’m also lefitist but jesus you can’t let that many in without at least trying to integrate them.
Also I can’t belive I’m defending the current government but they are not at fault for what’s going on. These issues have been a thing for years. One of the main reason for this is that discussing immigration policies have been mostly taboo. I’m very happy for living in Norway. We’ve been having these discussions for years and we have been open to strict immigration policies. You just can’t let whoever into your country.
Many other countries have liberal immigration policies and haven’t experienced these problems. Something seems to have gone uniquely wrong in Sweden. Gang membership in Sweden is comprised overwhelmingly of people from a handful of countries: Syria, Serbia, Bosnia, Albania and Iraq. Most immigrants to Sweden come from India for example, and don’t seem to cause problems. Nor do those from Poland or the UK.
It looks like a massive failure to vet individuals from a few nations … possibly out of a misplaced sensitivity to appearing racist.
