Is it honestly possible to just live indefinetely off unemployment in Sweden? Cause I know that wouldn't work over here without outright welfare fraud or some real disability.
Unemployment among immigrants isn't that bad either. About 7% for immigrants, 13,4% for africans specifically(link). now thats over 10% higher than the general population, but not really unexpected for mostly low skilled, uneducated people. I can't imagine it to be so much worse in Sweden, especially when I think of all the rhetoric used by the anti-immigration xenophobes over here as well.
Interestingly I recently saw a study which showed that the less immigrants live in your area, the more anti-immigration people there tend to be. It seems to me these people have a really selective perception of immigrants, or more specifically, muslims. I see 5 muslim girls without a veil for each one with, and hundreds for each with a burqua. I see 10 immigrants spending years learning the language fluently and speaking it at home with their kids for every one that never bothers to make an effort and so on, yet some people tend to only notice the bad apples.
When you think back to the time when the lower classes were not muslimy brown people, was there less crime? No, there was more. Were there less riots? No, there were a lot more. Was unemployment lower? Nope, it was higher.
Oh yes those silly geneva conventions, universal declaration of human rights and UN obligations!

What we should do is only let people in who are useful and who are easy to integrate, surprise surprise, educated people from the Netherlands are closer to us culture-wise and more skilled workers for relevant jobs than Somali analphabets, letting the former in but not the latter is not racist, its just common sense.
