Sweden Paying Migrants $34K To Leave As Gov’t Admit ‘Epic Failure’ of Liberal Immigration Policy


Ten years after then-Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfelt told Swedes to “open your hearts” to migrants, Sweden has announced plans to pay immigrants up to $34,000 to return home as part of a bold new “remigration” plan from the conservative government.

The failure to control migration has resulted in a shocking increase in violent crime in the previously homogenous and peaceful Scandinavian country. Sweden has the highest per-capita rate of gun violence in the European Union, with 363 fatal shootings last year — compared to six in the three other Nordic countries combined.

The era of the Great Repatriation has arrived.

The Swedish government announced on Thursday that it will increase grants for immigrants who choose to return to their home countries voluntarily, despite a government-appointed inquiry’s recommendation last month against a significant increase, Anadolu Agency reports.

Middle East Monitor reports: Starting in 2026, immigrants who choose to leave the Nordic country voluntarily will be eligible for financial assistance of up to 350,000 Swedish kronor (approximately $34,000), up from the current 10,000 kronor.

Under the current law, migrants returning home can get a maximum of 10,000 kronor per adult, or 5,000 kronor per child, with a maximum of 40,000 kronor per family, according to local broadcaster, SVT Nyheter.

“We are in the midst of a paradigm shift in our migration policy,” Migration Minister, Johan Forssell, said at a press conference in Stockholm.

According to Ludvig Aspling of the anti-immigrant Sweden Democrats, the grant has been available since 1984 and “is relatively unknown, small, and used by a few people”.

However, he now believes that heavily promoting substantially increased financial assistance would encourage more people to accept the offer to leave the Scandinavian country.

Migrants should hop on this ASAP because forced deportation is what comes next.
