> Sweden shut down its immigration flood as one prominent example
Sweden had the third-highest migration count ever in 2018, with ~137.000 people migrating to the country. The second-highest was 2017 (~144.000), the highest 2016 (~163.000). Source: SCB (Statistiska Centralbyrån -> 'Central Bureau for Statistics') report [1]. No borders were closed, not for real. In 2018 Migrationsverket ('Migration authority', responsible for handling migration) expected over half a million people (~5% of the current population) to come to Sweden in the coming 5 years.
Half of the women giving birth in Sweden are now wholly or partly of foreign descent, 35% partly or wholly of non-western descent, this also according to a recent SCB report.

- Shaanie 8y agoDepends a bit on what you're looking at. Here's a graph of the approved residencies for asylum seekers : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQwHObtLmiVV7VeMU2JRb-u51SeHlFmIMvS8eF-di7W397pXJMYW-R2nfkPkfBq_mG2keCkkejRhMJ6/pubchart?oid=1303258054&format=interactive https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQwHObtLmiVV... It shows a clear decline in recent years, though overall immigration may not be affected.
- Yetanfou 8y agoDo note that I was talking about 'migration', not about 'asylum seekers'. Also, when discussing migration (of any sort) to Sweden it is best to keep to verified sources - SCB being a prime example of such - as the discussion around this subject is so polarised that anything less than pristine data is suspect. Random spreadsheets don't count as verified data.
