Sweden to Deport Up to 80,000 Refugees

Deportation
@Marcyaz (35316)
United States
January 30, 2016 8:54am CST
163,000 migrants applied for asylum in Sweden in 2015, the highest per capita number in Europe. The numbers have fallen since new border control rules were put in place. Tensions have heightened since the death of an employee by a 15 year old refugee and now questions about overcrowded conditions in some centers, with too few adults and employees to look after children are being asked.. Processing of asylum applications is slow and there is a backlog which means reception centres are overcrowde. Systematic photo ID checks for travellers is now in place and has slowed down the number wanting to come into the Country.

Yes, it is going to take a few years however. I imagine the countries are overwhelmed over there all of them. I wonder what is going to happen? It is mind boggling.

We may have similar issues here on our turf too as our President wants to bring a large number of them here as well.

@MarshaMusselman He's just got but a little time sitting in the White house, wonder while he still even considers doing it it, the U.S. I think has more important problems already that has to be dealt with first especially the economy. I'm from the Philippines but guess that's how we see it from where we are.

That is a large concern in America too, that there will be more killings and rape from those coming from other countries not concerned about obeying our laws. I don't think too many people thought ahead about what could happen with their open arms policy.

@Marshamusselman To many with fake passports will come in and take over and who knows what will happen next beside the cost to the taxpayer.

We welcomed a lot of refugees before from the former South Vietnam for processing but they were just confined in one Island and they had an ideology similar to most of us here and their identities could easily be verified coming from a nation that's allied. This one is an entirely different scenario.

It's a delicate balancing act between being good, kind, charitable, cautious, security conscious, being weary and economics. It's a real difficult situation

Considering the recent behavior of some of the young male "refugees" in Europe I cannot say as I blame Sweden, or any other country in Europe, for wanting to reduce the inflow and perhaps encourage some that are already there to leave. If these young men have the energy to cause the trouble they are causing in Europe, then they have the energy to return home and fight for their own land.

@DWDavis They should have stayed there and fought if they are old enough to cause all this trouble in another country. If Sweden has to many problems they will close their borders for many years and deport many of these refugees.

@Marcyaz Many of them didn't stay to fight because they are part of a planned invasion by migration the ultimate goal of which is the Islmaification of Europe, or in other words, to create Eurabia.

Sweden is a beautiful country, but there are so many refugees trying to get into so many countries. I don't know how these countries can afford low cost housing, healthcare, provide education and jobs for such masses.

The processing of refugees has been a major problem for many European countries during this recent influx. Vast numbers of refugees have arrived with no documentation and tracing them via the records held in war torn Syria is seriously difficult and not always possible. With many of them possibly giving false names and information that cannot be verified or disproven, the problem is sure to compound rapidly.

@Marcyaz It becomes more serious as more refugees arrive. As the volume of refugees awaiting processing increases, so does the potential danger it poses.

Those refugees are creating plenty of problems here in Europe. Four have been arrested yesterday in our small village, they were trying to enter a house to steal money. In Germany they have harassed their women the New Year's Eve and also raped some. I wonder what is going to happen.

In the good old days the middle east saw rise of civilization and lots of remains are still found and the saddest part of it that even these days the relics are deliberately defaced, mutilated, destroyed by bombs, hand grenades or mortar fire. They killers boast of such acts and rejoice after butchering innocent people. I do not think that middle east contributed anything after 6th century and the middle age slumber still engulfs them. The purpose is too heinous to merely confine in immigration and who knows what would come out of it. I apprehend that the world will have to pay the price for any miscalculations and thus the responsibility should come on most of the nations who are progressive and not religious orientated.

The situation in Europe has really got out of hand. The sooner there is peace in the middle East the sooner they can go back. There is a disproportionate number of young men who have come. Most are economic migrants which is not the same as refugees in need of asylum. Europe is being overwhelmed.
