The facts, as stated in the article, speak for themselves. Whatever the reason, those immigrants, who are all pretty much without exception from countries about as far removed from Sweden or Norway in just about every conceivable way as is possible, have integrated extremely poorly, yet the establishment in Sweden seems hell-bent on bringing yet more over, and glossing over the fact there's any kind of problem with the ones who are already there. Have you even read the article, or do you consider Canada's Globe and Mail to be a crackpot site run by conspiracy nuts?

Sweden?

Ah, yes, now they were one of only THREE EC countries who opened the floodgates to ex-Eastern Bloc migrants back in 2002(?) or so.

All the others put in restrictions, similar to those Australia has, viz: Is there a job for you? Are you qualified to do said job and is there no indigenous person who would also like the job?

Sweden wanted cheap labour.
Ireland wanted cheap labour.

And the UK? We had a government who wanted to ram multiculturalism down the throat of the right wing and voters.

So Sweden may STILL need cheap labour.......it's population tends to be better qualified than most.
