Swedens Migration Minister: "The Limit of Sweden has been reached"

Quote:

Last week's drop of asylum seekers from nearly 10,000 per week to 8100 seems to have been no more than temporary. This week, the number of asylum seekers coming to Sweden again increased to about 9,000 per week. Migration Board's forecast indicates that about 160,000 refugees arrive at Sweden this year. It is the highest figure so far. -We are a fantastic country to have managed this situation so far. But we also have our limits and which now are on, says Morgan Johansson. The Swedish Migration Board is appealing for 110,000 new places, of which 50,000 this year already, including in sports halls. - Until this week, we have been able to provide everyone with food for the day and shelter. But if this continues for another week or 14 days an additional week, we will end up in a situation where we need to give such a notice to applicants that we can not give them a roof over their head, says Morgan Johansson. During the month of October hundreds of thousands of refugees came to Germany, mainly from Syria and Afghanistan. Some of them are heading north to Scandinavia and Sweden. But now Morgan Johansson want the refugees who are residing in Germany, where 40 000 are living in tents, to think again. - We must be honest and say that our situation is now so strained that it may well be that we can not guarantee an accommodation for you, says Morgan Johansson.

The government should have tried to slow the rate of asylum seekers much earlier as there has never been any sign of the current crisis slowing down. Moreover other countries such as the UK and the US should be pressured into take in more refugees especially from Afghanistan considering how culpable they are for the current situation the country is in.

I mean come on, here Sweden is taking in over a thousand refugees a day and the UK and US is afraid of taking more than a couple thousand token refugees.
