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.

"...the HOPE of discouraging migrants from coming to Sweden."

Hope is not a strategy.

They are only about 30 years too late. They've set an irreversible course and are stuck with it...unless they grow the needed massive balls and massively deport moslems.

This is a pathetic half measure that will make 0 difference. Sweden voted in a coven of radical feminists to run the country years ago and the result is a once thriving country in near ruins.

They aren’t coming there for the benefits, they are coming to conquer. The benefits are just a perk.

Sweden made a big mistake by letting them all in.

America made a big mistake by electing Biden, who’s letting them all in.

Cut off all welfare. Say you don’t have the money.

They’ll fight for a few months, then leave.

How do you “make it harder”? That sounds like they still can, but with more checks on their need.

Just don't give non-citzens benefits. Period.

The European Court of Justice will overrule any such law.

breitbart.com 10/16/23-——French President Emmanuel Macron called for all radical Islamist migrants residing in France to be removed from the country in the wake of the suspected Islam-inspired assassination of a middle school teacher on Friday.

President Macron has tasked Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin to carry out a “ruthless” examination of the files of those who “carry hatred and terrorist ideologies” over the next 48 hours in order to remove foreign-born Islamists from France, Le Figaro reports.

It comes after Dominique Bernard, a middle school teacher in the city of Arras, was allegedly stabbed to death by a suspected Islamist named Mohamed Mogouchkov. The Russian-born suspect was reportedly on the country’s extremist watch list — referred to as having an “S file” — prior to the attack and had also reportedly been subject to a deportation order in 2014 that was successfully quashed by appeals from pro-migrant groups.

Darmanin has said out of the over 20,000 S files — not all of which remain active — there are at least 489 extremist foreigners who are considered to be a danger to the country residing in France. A further 300 radical foreigners are currently in prison or under house arrest. The minister said that the government will seek to “systematically deport” them following the end of their prison sentence.

Johnny-Come-Lately Kissinger didn’t care about it before. But he suddenly got religion.

Globalist Henry Kissinger was AWOL when 3rd World hordes were destroying Christianity and smearing White cultures.....but it seems when Israel got blowback, he suddenly came alive, and indulges in recriminations.

“It was a grave mistake to let in so many people of totally different cultures, religions and concepts” - globalist Henry Kissinger belatedly opines.

The rest of us knew that from the getgo, Mr K.

He's going to be dead soon, so he doesn't have to deal with the consequences.........or so he thinks.
