Any problems Sweden has with immigration are entirely of its own making.
They have spent 40 years or more positively welcoming allcomers, showering them with money and gifts with scant regard for the effect that the mass influx of huge numbers of people of alien cultures would have on social cohesion. Now fully 16% of the population is made up of immigrants, mainly from the Middle East and Africa. All the main political parties and the mainstream media support the status quo and questioning the consensus is regarded as xenophobic, racist and hateful.
So how’s it all gone for them? Not too well, apparently, according to one of the immigrants, Tino Sanadaji . This extract is not my own work, but is from a report I recently read:
====================
Tino Sanandaji. is himself an immigrant, a Kurdish-Swedish economist who was born in Iran and moved to Sweden when he was 10. He has a doctorate in economics from the University of Chicago and specializes in immigration issues. This week I spoke with him by Skype.
“There has been a lack of integration among non-European refugees,” he told me. Forty-eight per cent of immigrants of working age don’t work, he said. Even after 15 years in Sweden, their employment rates reach only about 60 per cent. Sweden has the biggest employment gap in Europe between natives and non-natives.
In Sweden, where equality is revered, inequality is now entrenched. Forty-two per cent of the long-term unemployed are immigrants, Mr. Sanandaji said. Fifty-eight per cent of welfare payments go to immigrants. Forty-five per cent of children with low test scores are immigrants. Immigrants on average earn less than 40 per cent of Swedes. The majority of people charged with murder, rape and robbery are either first- or second-generation immigrants. “Since the 1980s, Sweden has had the largest increase in inequality of any country in the OECD,” Mr. Sanandaji said.
It’s not for lack of trying. Sweden is tops in Europe for its immigration efforts. Nor is it the newcomers’ fault. Sweden’s labour market is highly skills-intensive, and even low-skilled Swedes can’t get work. “So what chance is there for a 40-year-old woman from Africa?” Mr. Sandaji wondered.
Sweden’s fantasy is that if you socialize the children of immigrants and refugees correctly, they’ll grow up to be just like native Swedes. But it hasn’t worked out that way. Much of the second generation lives in nice Swedish welfare ghettos. The social strains – white flight, a general decline in trust – are growing worse. The immigrant-heavy city of Malmo, just across the bridge from Denmark, is an economic and social basket case.
=================
The report goes on to quantify the enormous cost of this utter folly and describes the chasms now opening up among voters who are finally becoming tired of being bullied into funding the world and his wives to come to their country and plunder their wealth. Mr Sanandaji sums up:
“It’s really very simple. You can’t combine open borders with a welfare state. If you’re offering generous welfare benefits to every citizen, and anyone can come and use these benefits, then a very large number of people will try to do that. And it’s just mathematically impossible for a small country like Sweden to fund those benefits.”
So it’s no wonder some disorder, like the subject of this question, is bubbling under in Sweden. Sweden Always urged the rest of the EUto be like them as they attempted to be seen as the moral capital of Europe, if not the world. Hopefully their voters may be thinking again.

I notice that “The following day a car belonging to a refugee family was set on fire”
Was that car driven through several different countries before reaching Sweden? Sailed there in a dinghy, perhaps? Or has it been acquired since with the 200 Kroner a week?
And the poor things are complaining of boredom. They could always go home and fight for their own countries. That would pass the time!
Who should shoulder the responsibility? Certainly not the Swedish taxpayer.

It is rather shocking: imagine having the temerity to buy a car, only for civilised Scandinavians to set fire to it. Provocation on a massive scale :-)
