  Swedish welfare ghettos - social strains - $4-billion a year on settling new refugees
  
  "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 ... is an economic and social basket case."
  
  "Sweden’s generosity costs a fortune, at a time when economic growth is stagnant. The country now spends about $4-billion a year on settling new refugees – up from $1-billion a few years ago, Mr. Sanandaji (himself an immigrant, a Kurdish-Swedish economist) said.
