“Sweden is a humanitarian superpower.”
Carl Bildt, Foreign Minister, Sweden

New information from the Migration Board on 22 June 2014:

The forecast for asylum seekers to Sweden has been increased

Significantly more people will be applying for asylum than the Swedish authorities have estimated.

From the article Prognosen fel — tusentals fler behöver hjälp — in the daily morning paper Dagens Nyheter:

This year Sweden will provide protection to more refugees than the authorities have estimated. The forecast was 61,000 asylum seekers — the Migration Board now estimates that 70,000 to 80,000 will seek asylum. The figure may become even higher: the violent developments in Iraq creates uncertainty.

The municipalities’ unwillingness to accept refugees make to the Migration Board must procure thousands of additional locations at an additional cost of around one billion kronor this year.

Note: there are no houses and apartments available in Sweden for all the people who arrive… More than 12,000 people are still in camps even after they have been granted residence permits, and new people are arriving at an alarming pace.

The Migration Board informs that the number of people seeking refuge in Sweden has risen sharply. Only last week — during one week only — 2,100 people filed for asylum. The general manager of the Migration Board, Mr Anders Danielsson:

We are proud that many people turn to Sweden. It is a great country to live in. Here people will be received in a good way. The UN refugee agency UNHCR says that we are the best in the world and that means something.

The country just does not have the capacity to receive hundreds of thousands of complete strangers with enormous needs, however good and humanitarian its politicians want to be seen as, in the world. Many of those who come to Sweden have traumatic experiences from their home countries, many have lived in violent environments, many of them are illiterate or have just a couple of years of schooling. Some of them are, of course, highly educated, but many more are ill equipped for living and coping in a high tech society like Sweden. Their religion is very different, their culture and traditions are very different and the integration of immigrants is a complete failure in Sweden! And that is an acknowledged and indisputable fact.

The pride that the General Manager is feeling seems to have the same origin as the pride that the Swedish Foreign Minister expresses: Sweden wants to be patted on the head (if a country can be patted on its head…) by the UN and others, since it has claimed the right to call itself a Humanitarian Superpower!

But what happens to the hundreds of thousands of people (with and without reasons for asylum) who will not be a part of the Swedish society since the integration of them has failed? What happens to a country that does not have a clue about whom they have granted permanent residence and Swedish citizenship —true refugees, people in need of protection, people who have fraudulently gotten permits to stay, criminals, terrorists? What happens to the Swedish people who have very little to say in the matter and who can not make informed decisions or protest since they are not given enough information. What happens to the Swedish people when they are not given the whole picture regarding the enormous amount of non-European citizens literally flooding into their country? Sweden has no housing, no jobs to offer, and no way of integrating all these people — anyone with even a small amount of intelligence can calculate the outcome. And the riots and burning of houses and cars, the general unrest in the society are clear signs of what is going to be much worse in the future. But the Foreign Minister and the General Manager of the Migration Board — and, one can assume — the whole Swedish government — are proud!

What will happen at the parliamentary elections on September 17 when the people finally have a say, remains to be seen. One thing is for certain: Sweden will for ever be changed, it already is. It has gone in another direction than it´s neighboring countries and voices have been heard from them about the danger of a country in their very near vicinity (Sweden) giving so many strangers refuge without proper investigations about who they are. This poses a danger also to the other Nordic countries.

It should be known to those who read this text, that in Sweden it is not an absolute requirement that a person who claims to be a refugee or an asylum applicant proves his or her identity. Sweden does not even require that a person proves his identity when he applies for Swedish citizenship, it just takes three years longer before he gets it. A Swedish passport can nowadays belong to just anyone: a terrorist or a murderer as well as to someone who was in great need of protection and who got asylum on legal grounds in Sweden, more in this subject later.
