The Sweden Socialists Point To Doesn't Exist — It Collapsed In 1990 | Tom Deepdive
"As of January 2026, Sweden is now offering migrants more than $30,000 per adult to voluntarily leave. That's how much they cost the country. They would rather pay to have them leave than have them stay. The country's own government has publicly admitted that extensive immigration in recent years has caused major strains on our society."
Sweden's government is paying migrants over $30,000 per adult to voluntarily leave the country after open borders immigration created fiscal costs between 1% and 3% of GDP annually. Foreign-born unemployment runs three times the native rate, forcing Sweden to reverse course on immigration policies that strained its welfare system beyond sustainability.
