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.

A third? They’ve destroyed a once beautiful country. There is no saving it now.

What the Europeans assumed was that they could be converted to liberalism from Islam, because they could be bought with social programs.

They turned on Swedes as soon as they started arriving in 1980. The likes of Meijer were attacking people who didn't want them as "racists" until a couple of years ago.

Muslims in Sweden

Dr. Peter Hammond did a study of how Muslims behave as a percentage of a country’s population. Sweden is now roughly 8% Muslim and is closing in on 10%. From the study:

“ When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions (Paris: car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats (Amsterdam: Mohammed cartoons).”

Because she probably lived in one of those neighborhoods that were not affected by it, until the number of migrants because so large as to be impossible to be insulated from their impact.

Unless she resigns, I doubt her sincerity.

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

The outlook is bleak when the best-case scenario is dozens of Gaza Strips across the continent.

That’s an important graph. Look how steep the line is from 2010 to 2020. Looks like Sweden had lost control of Muslim immigration, completely.

Idiots.

That’s like throwing gasoline on a house and then burning it down. What the hell did these morons think was going to happen when they struck the match? Soros, Rothschilds, Rockefellers and all the kings with no country have to be elated at their success in their destruction.

The Swedes have finally awakened. Unfortunately, it is too late. The only thing that will save that country is recovering the Viking spirit.

This is the first time I’ve seen a hockey stick curve that was actually associated with reality.

“Louise Meijer”

Don’t know Sweden’s history, but in the US the MEN who voted to legalize women voting and being in politics all died before seeing the results of their SHEER IDIOCY.

Being a Leftist means not being able to recognize that OBVIOUSLY stupid and destructive policies are stupid and destructive.
