(Stockholm, Sweden) According to this report, the nation of Sweden doesn't have enough foreign nationals sneaking into the country. Incentives are to be offered for more to come.
Illegal immigrants in Sweden should in future have the right to government-funded healthcare and education, and be able to start their own companies, the government has agreed.A vote on the issue is scheduled for early next year.
The move follows long negotiations between the smaller governing parties (the Centre, Liberal and Christian Democrat parties) who have long argued for more rights for undocumented migrants, and the Moderate Party, which has opposed the idea.
The Moderates have argued that giving such entitlements would legitimize people who have no right to be in Sweden.
The parties say there are still a number of questions to resolve, including the issue of who will pay for illegal immigrants' healthcare or the kind of care and education to which they will be entitled.
Interestingly, while the Swedish government is preparing legislation to authorize free health care to illegals, another report indicates that Swedish citizens will soon be required to pay more for health care. So, Swedes pay more, illegals pay nothing -- helluva deal.
In any event, the Swedish action will likely be heard by displaced North Africans, Middle Easterners, Eastern Europeans and Asians as an invitation to "Come and live in Sweden!"
