“My Europe takes in people fleeing from war, my Europe does not build walls,” the Swedish prime minister, Stefan Löfven, told crowds…
All very laudable, I’m sure, but of course Mr Löfven should not speak for Europe but just for Swedes (and I doubt he does that with much popular support). The problem he faces is that large numbers of the migrants storming Europe’s borders are not “fleeing from war” at all. They simply don’t like it too much where they were and are chancing their arm by illegally entering other countries. Among them was this young lady:
http://
She left her native Eritrea for Turkey, met a bloke (a fellow Eritrean) and paid people smugglers £2,300 for a trip across to Rhodes. She and her man then parted, he heading overland for the “Jungle” in Calais whilst she paid another £2k for a fake passport allowing her to travel to Sweden. She doesn’t like it there because it’s a bit chilly, but she has been given a flat and £7 a day pocket money. Needless to say she hopes to be reunited with her man when they have both been granted asylum. Only one guess, I’m afraid at their final destination of choice.
“But three months and about 80,000 asylum seekers later, the migration minister told parliament: “The system cannot cope.”
Well there’s a surprise. A country with a population about the same as Greater London has 80,000 people (about a 1% increase) to absorb in just 3 months. The Swedish population took more than 40 years to grow by about 800,000 (from 1962 to 2003). Now they see an increase of 10% of that figure in just three months. Do they have accommodation just lying spare for 80,000? Do they have schools, hospitals and doctors for that number? Possibly not.
“Announcing the U-turn in refugee policy, the deputy prime minister burst into tears.”
He or she should get out more. Sweden is drowning under a sea of migrants:
http://
Private buildings are being compulsorily taken over by the State to house them. Malmo resembles a vast transit camp for the arrivals, many of them unaccompanied children. The country faces a financial crisis due to the costs involved. Any tears the deputy PM feels the need to shed should be saved for Swedish citizens who have seen their country turned into a dumping ground for illegal migrants to Europe who have been attracted there by his government’s ridiculous policies.
I’ll be the first to accept that conditions in Eritrea are not ideal. But the lady in my link was not fleeing war or persecution. She worked in a pizzeria and managed to save enough for her air fare to Turkey. All she would say of her time there is that “there is no future for young people”. Nor will there ever be if all of them *** off to Europe and nations, such as Sweden, are daft enough to house and feed them.

I am just waiting for the case you cited to be described as an isolated example on here.
The question has to be asked how much of Syria is a total danger to it's inhabitants and how much is exaggerated.
When that Syrian killed his wife and two babies after leaving 3 years employment in Turkey having decided to up stumps. He was not in danger of his life or fleeing a war zone. He had been safe in Turkey for 3 years.
Within 3 days of his childrens bodies being washed up on the beach he just breezes back to his village in Syria to give them a burial.
Yes. A unnecessary tragedy but his return to Syria does not appear to involve immediate danger as he demonstrated. I am sure they are not all being barrel bombed.
Apparently a major gripe by our grateful saved refugees is Sweden is too cold.Well they should learn to adapt but that does not feature in their expectations and demands.

/// But once in Greece Makda decided she could not face the long trek through the Balkans and Europe to Calais and opted instead to pay a Sudanese forger £2,000 for a fake passport with a Schengen visa allowing her to reach Sweden. ///
This woman is a criminal and should be sent back to Eritrea post haste.

Quite so. Alongside the single currency the two “achievements” must rank among the greatest manifestations of unintended consequences (and badly thought through policies) of all time. But still the euromaniacs describe them as “achievements”.
