    “Sweden has never before seen anything like this,”

    Sweden has since sharply restricted migration levels, citing rising crime levels and other social problems.

    I’m personally very pro immigration and think we need to get better at it as climate refugees become more common.

    How did things get so bad in Sweden? Like, did they fail to facilitate integration or was there an abnormally high level of criminals among their immigrant population?

      Some people come from different cultures with higher levels of crime. They come to Sweden and they aren’t automatically going to be model Swedes, just keeping doing what they do at home but now in another country. Or it gets worse because they don’t see it as their country.

        They shouldn’t have to become “Swedes” to be considered acceptable. Do we have good data on certain countries having higher crime rates than others? Because often with these measurements, they are done differently in each country, making comparisons difficult.

          If they moving to Sweden then yea they kinda should become swedes at least the following generations.

          Funny you should say that Sweden used to keep data on things like skin colour and nationality but the data that came out if it gave fuel to people saying certain nationalities cause more crime. Now it’s unreported.
