Desperate Swedes threaten pig farm next to asylum center
This is one more in our ‘Invasion of Europe’ series. Americans pay attention, by some estimates we are only a decade behind Europe.
From The Local:
Gullberg is about a five hour drive from Stockholm, Sweden’s capital
Plans for a new immigration centre in Gullberg have already been strongly opposed by local residents and on Wednesday it was reported that a group of campaigners had sent a letter to the Swedish Migration Board (Migrationsverket) pledging to breed pigs nearby in order to deter Muslims from seeking asylum in the town.
The note, signed by what described itself as the “interest group for Gullberg’s survival” said that it was trying to create a “probably impossible situation for some religious people, especially Muslims”, according to Sveriges Radio.
Local politician Henry Sandahl from Sweden’s Countryside Party (Markbygdspartiet) told the broadcaster that he agreed with the sentiment of the letter.
“You know that Muslims are not friends with pigs,” he said.
Adorable!
At this point in the story there is much sniffing and snorting from Swedish elitists about how silly this idea is. You can read it yourself.
Then this! Sweden will not survive an open door policy toward Muslims from Syria. Here we learn how high the number of asylum seekers has risen.
Sweden became the first European country in 2013 to grant automatic residency to Syrian refugees and has since seen asylum requests rise to record levels, which are still expected to reach about 90,000 in 2015.
To cope with an increasing flow of refugees, the Swedish Migration Board announced in March that it was more than tripling the maximum number of residents allowed at asylum centres from 200 to 650.
Will there come a day when Swedes seek asylum in America—but surely not in Minnesota!
This reminds me, a number of years ago Maryland had a Muslim state legislator who actually introduced a bill in the legislature that would make it harder for Maryland pig farmers to make a living. The bill, disguised as an animal rights bill, failed and he is no longer a state delegate.
