It leads to financial ruin for welfare states? Then how is it that Sweden is one of the countries that accepts most immigrants per capita in Europe, but still has a good economy, and still have opened up policies even further during the last decade?
- getsat 15y agoSweden's lax immigration policies are not without their own problems, though. Ghettos are forming within the major cities and crime is up across the board. Immigrants are refusing to adopt the culture. Norway also suffers from this problem, but to a lesser degree as they allow fewer immigrants. Anyone who wants to slow down or limit immigration is labeled as a racist in these countries. Here's an example posted in another thread here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2661027 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2661027 Keep in mind that Sweden is also using its own currency, not the fluctuating Euro. They're not responsible for bailing out insolvent member states like Germany is.
