Sweden’s government on Tuesday said it would put forward a bill introducing a requirement for migrants to adhere to an “honest living” or face deportation.
But then if poverty is the best predictor for crime, that begs the question why would any country want people who are inherently more prone to crime in the first place?
Labor? Something something declining birth rates. It’s not like flipping burgers in Berlin or Stockholm will let one live in anything but poverty conditions. That’s what needs to change if you want to reduce crime, not heavy handed enforcement that’s almost always just going to be used as an excuse to harass immigrants. I’m not clear on the details of the Swedish immigration system, but European immigration systems in general definitely don’t need to be more draconian; it’s a solution looking for a problem.
The thing about Japan is complex for several reasons. On the one hand, late payments only affect your PR application if they took place within the last two years.
“Oops, your bill came late, no PR for you for two years” isn’t my idea of a fair or productive system.
