Sweden Passes Law Requiring "Good Behavior" by Migrants Or Else Face Deportation

"Good behavior" requires more than merely not breaking the law.

🇸🇪 Sweden has passed a "good behavior" law allowing migrants to be deported over non-criminal conduct such as tax debts or extremist links.

This will allow the Swedish government the power to revoke residence permits and deport legal immigrants without a specific criminal charge.

Now, grounds for deportation from Sweden may simply be based on the migrant's non-criminal misconduct, such as benefit fraud, links to extremist organizations, illegal work, unpaid debts, and tax evasion.

I mean, almost all of those are criminal behavior. Some might not be felony criminal behavior, and one -- "links to extremist organizations" -- isn't itself a criminal offense but it's a huge, huge flag suggesting very serious criminal offenses indeed.

Well, at least it's something.

Such cases will be evaluated by the Swedish Migration Agency.

This bill was pushed through by the Prime Minister's right-wing minority government, heavily supported by the nationalist Sweden Democrats party.

Propaganda organization Reuters needs you to know that "human rights organizations" object to this law and says it offends "equality under the law."

Sweden's parliament passed a law on Monday allowing authorities to revoke immigrants' residency permits based on bad behaviour, ​such as having unpaid debts, doing undeclared work or ‌links to extremist organisations.

The law, which covers pending permits but also retroactively already granted permits, is part of a wider tightening of immigration ​rules by the right-wing government and its support party, ​the nationalist Sweden Democrats, ahead of a parliamentary election ⁠in September.

The law has been criticised by the opposition and ​human rights advocacy groups as arbitrary because decisions would be taken ​on behaviour that has not been deemed criminal.

"The good behaviour law leaves people in uncertainty about what actions or expressions can be used against ​them," Stockholm-based group Civil Rights Defenders said in a statement.

"It ​undermines the rule of law and the principle of equality before the ‌law."

No, it doesn't. They are not citizens. They do not have a right to be in the country, only the government's leave to be in the country

That leave can be withdrawn.

The ⁠government, which won the 2022 election on a promise to reduce immigration and crack down on crime, has said that people who misbehave or commit crimes are not welcome.

...

"Anyone who doesn't make the effort to do the ⁠right thing ​shouldn't be able to count on ​staying," Minister of Migration Johan Forssell said when he proposed the bill in ​March.

Every civilized country will have a law like this in five years. Those who don't have it will already be de-civilized.

Not uncivilized, but de-civilized, taken from a state a civilization to a state of barbarism.
