Sweden’s Government Pays Immigrants To Leave Ahead Of Elections

Maybe they are tired of all the no go zones and rapes?

As election looms, Sweden’s government is paying immigrants to leave

Once known for its welcome to migrants, Sweden has not only shut its borders over the last decade, its right-wing government is now paying some foreign-born residents to leave, part of a tough stance on migration it hopes will help it ?secure reelection this month.

As countries across Europe clamp down on immigration, Sweden has made one of the most drastic about-turns. It took in 163,000 asylum seekers in 2015 – the second highest ?per capita in Europe. By 2025, that number had fallen 96%.

Since the start of 2026, the Swedish coalition government, which took power in 2022 on a pledge to cut immigration and crime, has been offering those with residency permits from outside the European Union up to 350,000 Swedish crowns ($37,000) if they leave the country.

The scheme is being closely watched abroad, and strongly supported by the Sweden Democrats, a far-right party that is outside the government but backs it in parliament.

“Do you miss Mogadishu? The remigration grant will help you get ?home,” reads an advert, paid for by the Sweden Democrats on a bus and aimed at Somali immigrants. The far-right party launched the adverts in July on public transport and in areas with high ?numbers of migrants as campaigning for the election began. It and the three governing coalition parties are seeking to form a four-way ruling partnership.

Remember, the government has given handbooks and lectures to new migrants multiple times about not raping. Most of the rapes over the last 10-15 years have committed by immigrants”, most of whom come from African and/or Muslim nations.

Governments and political parties across Europe ?are watching as some also consider ways to send people back. Anti-immigration rhetoric has surged since over a million people, mainly Syrians fleeing war, arrived in Europe in 2015. That has given right-wing nationalist parties a boost, pushing governments ?to adopt increasingly restrictive migration policies focused on deterrence and returns.

If citizens of those countries didn’t find it appealing they wouldn’t be voting for those politicians. The left wing ones just kept letting in and bringing migrants in, regardless of what the citizens wanted, and then the citizens finally had enough and voted for the right leaning parties.

So far this year, 171 people have taken up the offer of cash to leave. The Sweden Democrats want to extend the offer to immigrants with Swedish citizenship, if they agree to revoke it.

“That’s where you find the large numbers,” said ?Ludvig Aspling, immigration ?spokesperson for the party, highlighting those citizens who struggle to support themselves financially and speak little Swedish.

And those politicians were giving free and easy citizenship to people who couldn’t speak the language, didn’t understand the culture, and had no intention of assimilating. They expected Sweden to change to be like the 3rd world shithole/Muslim nation they came from, all while paying for everything for the migrants. It’s funny how all the Muslim ones never go to Muslim nations, eh?
