As long as the immigrants coming are paying into the system more than they take it's not a problem. The issue is purely the type of immigrants Sweden welcomed.

We should be clear about this because even at scale immigration can work well, and be a net benefit economically.
Another problem Sweden though is that they also didn't import people with compatible cultural values. So you have a population of people who are unable to economically contribute, and often unwilling to integrate.
I just wish people listened years ago when people like myself suggested it was likely to play out like this instead of being so mean and accusing us of all having hateful motives. There's no going back now.

There's no going back now. Agreed. Unfortunately those people who leveled accusations will face no consequences. Even if you were to bring up that they wrong, naive, selfish, you'll just get a shrug from them and a "get over it". Like the results and end-game don't matter to them now, when before they swore with their life that it mattered and anyone in opposition was a xenophobic piece of crap.
