SWEDEN


So how are things working out in the most immigration-friendly country on the planet?

"Not so well, says Tino Sanandaji. Mr. Sanandaji is himself an immigrant, a Kurdish-Swedish economist who was born in Iran and moved to Sweden when he was 10."

“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."

"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. "
