back doors…escapes from responsibility

I have been asked to explain about my ‘laws with backdoors’ comment on the posting from 2 days ago
https://sweden.blogspot.nl/2018/01/rip-swedish-decency.html
So, here is a screen shot of a section from Migrationsverkets website:

Things to note about this ‘law’ and it’s getout clauses (back doors).

1. Afghanistan is not considered by Sweden to be an ‘at war’ country. Most of the rest of the world considers it so, the UN listing it as a class 1 warzone (same as Syria).The US Congress (July 2017) confirmed it as the worst place in the world for terrorist organisations. Now, according to security information, ISIS has moved in!
2. The under 18 reference is critical to understanding why an asylum seeker’s age was artificially increased by a Migationsverket employee (with no experience) at first interview who had worked in the agency for just 5 months and left one month later. This meant that  a ‘secret court’ could be held (normally held if requested by an under 18 seeker,but in many cases not requested by the seeker) for someone who Migrationsverket claimed was 18 years and 10 months old !  Very strange!
3. The increased age was a ‘punishment’ for having no documentation. When this documentation was later obtained, it did not cause the age ‘to be reduced’.
4. Even though the person had been provided with accommodation (at no cost to the Swedish State), a guaranteed income if continuing at school (at no cost to the Swedish State-provided by persons of European origin and non-muslim), a part time (if at school) or full time job…..these things were not considered by the court and were dismissed as irrelevant by Migrationsverket.
5.If the grounds for protection are shown to be other than ‘simply being a war zone’, for example having been kidnapped and therefore subject to reprisal if returned (refoulement), it is of no consequence ….as things such as evidence and facts do not enter into the consideration of this Swedish Migration Court system.
In other words, as with the medical age assessment scandal, Sweden is inflicting debilitating injury upon it’s own integrity and reputation in the world. The asylum seeker issues are not the cause of these deteriorating standards, but simply the catalyst for the manifestation of the problem.

“Comedy of Errors”

A comedy is something humourous. In Shakespeare’s case, this play was a farcical comedy – a satirical comment upon social conditions and laws.
A farce is defined as ” an event or situation that is absurd or disorganized.“
I leave you to judge about Migration politics in Sweden…………………. for there is absolutely nothing to find funny in this scenario.

there is no comfort in a comfortable life

Those asylum seeker costs so many complain about !

You have heard it, in the media, from folks you had thought reasonable persons : “Look at what they are costing us. They get better conditions than our own folk on social payments”.
Yeah, you’ve heard it!
What they probably haven’t heard is that essentially what has happened is that money which previously was spent abroad (often in very corrupt countries) is now being spent here in Sweden. To a substantial benefit here in Sweden. Payments to Kommunes, lower unemployment, payment to lawyers, courts, back up services, more domestic expenditure for service supply businesses toe enjoy….
So the asylum seeker scenario diverted money that otherwise went abroad …..to the home economy.

Essentially, Swedish taxpayers were already spending this money….but now they could really see where it was being spent.
So I have a very simply question to ask SD…….this was really a bad thing to do, huh, spend this money at home ?

For this we get (mainly) young people to support our society.Young people with a desire to be educated. Young people who want peace,justice,democracy in their lives. You know, people who want to be as we are, comfortable, peaceful and building a life worth living.
