Rejected asylum seekers must leave the country or be forced to leave - Swedish PM
Monday, 18 March 2013
Swedish Prime minister, Fredrik Reinfeldt last night supported his police over persistent stop search and arrest of people who looked like illegal immigrants in the country.
In the past months, Sweden has changed from being what some people will describe as a free country to that where immigrant looking people are stopped and checked.
If they are found to be illegally living in the country, they were arrested straight away and deported.
Amidst criticisms from various section of the left side of Swedish politics, such as the Green Party, the Prime minister commented on it last night on Swedish television.
"Sweden has a very generous immigration policy. But those who received expulsion decisions must leave the country," said Prime Minister Reinfeldt on Swedish television program Agenda, in relations to criticisms levelled against him recently and his police policy called the Reva projects. The project meant that police could stop people with mostly dark skin as they look more to be immigrants and ask for their ID.
Swedish people with dark skin have been stopped in places such as in the subway and some have seen their journeys to places delayed just because they likely did not carry along their IDs. This action has been criticised by rights groups and politicians but the government feels that it should continue in order to remove the illegal immigrants living in the country.
Some people feel that the government wants to maintain this approach for its is popular with the right wing groups and it could improve on its falling opinion poll rating - something Mr Fredrik Reinfeldt commented about on Sunday.
"The government has been subjected to extensive criticism," he said and continued
"We have legislated for a regulated immigration and asylum system. I find myself very puzzled that a wide range of politicians sounds as if we have free immigration in Sweden when we do not. I think one should stand up for the laws and rules that we nonetheless were voted in for," said Fredrik Reinfeldt.
