Swedish Socialist party Finance Minister Magdalena Andersson has just announced the nation’s solution to the rising costs of increased migration. She shared with the Swedish newspaper, Expressen, that increasing retirement age would negate the increased welfare costs seen in conjunction with opening their borders.
“Looking at those who start working at 30, there should be opportunities to work longer than 65,” Andersson said.
The minister made her remarks following an economic report from the Local Authorities and County Council (SKL) released earlier this week. The report claimed that the welfare state would grow faster than revenue obtained through taxation due to the dramatic rise of Sweden’s population.
Now there are many people who truly do need to flee their homelands due to persecution or war, one must never forget that, but at what point does that become native-born foreigners problem? And do these changes come at the expense of their own quality of life?
Due to the influx of migrants during the migrant crisis and Sweden’s growing birthrate, the population of the country has expanded faster than almost any other European country.
Some Swedish cities, like the southern city of Malmo, owe their population growth almost entirely to mass migration from predominantly Middle Eastern countries.
The SKL study claims there is a 47 billion SEK (£4.1 billion) gap between current revenue and welfare state costs that will have to be made up either by tax increases or increasing the retirement age.
While migrants are increasing the cost of the Swedish welfare state in terms of added infrastructure and cost for services, many are unemployed and directly on welfare. A recent report showed that while the native Swedish unemployment rate was around 3.9 percent, it stood at 21.8 percent for Swedish residents from foreign backgrounds.
A 2016 report claimed that the one-year cost of the migrant crisis for the Swedish taxpayer could amount to as much as 600 billion Swedish Kronor (£48.3 billion), enough to pay for the national armed forces for the next 14 years. Stockholm University associate professor Jan Tullberg made the calculations based on welfare and housing costs, education costs and other factors.

How do they see that these people are helping them in any way? They are sinking fast and their people will soon realize they should never have trusted their government representatives on This topic.
That is terrible!
no good deed goes unpunished
Michelle VonAhn The muslims invaded europe and the crusades pushed them back. For many years the US needed immigrants but that time has past.
Just get rid of them and problem solved!! Or kick them off the free ride!!
Michelle VonAhn did someone put hot sauce on your$#%&!@*pocket you snuggle with? You’re a fool. No better way to say it… the only need their ever was for immigrants was workforce. They didn’t build America. They did the work that the people who built America layed out for them without even knowing it. They were unwitting accomplices taking pay for their labor… And in case you haven’t fucking noticed, in the US we have a problem with balance between our population number and our economy. And stupid twats like you want to make that worse. Here’s an idea. Why don’t you choke on your tongue next time you want to wag it…
Right!!!! Opec is purposely killing m exico off just to hurt america. Last time I checked the Saudis were doing pretty damn well off oil…
