Also, to add, during the Syrian refugee wave of 2015/2016, the second largest group to come here after Syrians were repatriating Swedes. We didn't get 200K war refugees during the wave on top of our regular immigration. It was 200K including repatriating Swedes and the normal immigration we see year over year.

But anecdotally, I know of enough people getting robbed with guns and knives that I don't feels as safe as I did 10 years ago. I pulled the 200k out of thin air. I'm talking more about the sum over the past few years rather than a specific peak.
