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.

The people responsible should be arrested, tried, and sentenced to life in prison.

She assumed they were like her and that they would be grateful... she was wrong.

[[‘We were fundamentally wrong on the immigration issue’ ]]

Gee- ya think? EVERYONE with a 1/2 of a brain cell knew it was fundamentally wrong- but socialists are so stupidly blind that they can’t read the writing on the wall- Let’s just hope Louise has finally seen the light!

Way too late, lady. You don’t have the courage to deport the Muslim invaders. And what about the ones that were born there?

Perhaps the best you can hope for is some peaceful partition of the country. If that happens, be sure to build a wall.

Side note: Sweden is offering the West a stark example of what not to do. That example is being ignored completely.

If you had been paying attention a few years back you would have seen this was the case, now what are you going to do? Deportation back to where they came from is your only answer or your culture will be totally destroyed.

(((Meijer))) was a big proponent of non-white and moslem immigration - until they turned on Jews.

“Pathological Altruism”

Important concept to know about. Thanks for mentioning it.

Too late. You have admitted enough third world and especially military age muslim men to cause radical spikes in violent crime - especially rape. You have imported enough to fundamentally change the demographic profile of your country and to eventually bankrupt your social programs.

Shutting the barn door after all the horses have bolted is not going to fix the problem.

The only way you are going to get you country back to being even a semblance of what it was is to implement a mass deportation program. The Muslims and those not willing to FULLY embrace the Swedish language and Swedish values must be deported back to where they came from. Sadly, I don’t think Swedes or other Europeans have the balls to actually do it. I fear for your future and it makes me sad to see what you have ruined.

Sweden is offering the West a stark example of what not to do.

Sweden had a total of 149 IED explosions in 2023:
