I know that there is a lot of political idealism on CE but the hard truth is that this is what a substantial majority of Swedes want and the Socialdemocrats are going in on winning back power. Which will be helpful even for immigrants, at least the ones who integrate. Because the Swedish welfare model can only survive if people work and pay their fair share of taxes. And it is a fact that immigrants who dont learn Swedish struggle to get employment and find a place in our society. The Socialdemocrats are for the first time in 19 years starting to win back blue collar male voters who have left them for the Nationalists, which will benefit the nation. Cuz our Right-wing parties are starting to eye their own version of Project 2025 so they must be stopped and being strict on immigration will help that cause. Sad but true.

I don't doubt such policies are popular. I don't know the situation in Sweden, but in the UK we have Ref-UK leading in the polls and racists hanging flags from every lamp post to intimidate immigrants.

Perhaps things are different in Sweden. In the UK immigrants are the backbone of our public services. The amount immigration costs small compared to benefit fraud, and non existent next to tax avoidance. Yet the political parties don't speak on that.
