      So we need to put up with high crime rates, disharmony, and paying taxes for welfare recipients, because my ancestor was an immigrant? Let me think about it… No. If my ancestor felt like he had to emigrate, he, or she did so, because they wanted to leave that country, not bring that country with them.

      Is Sweden better off with immigrants, yes, or no? The answer is no, and the Swedish voter lives in a state that is worse due to unfettered immigration, than without it. This is the same sentiment across Europe that is bringing the “far right” into government, or closer to government. Now you can be emotional about it, or you can be reasonable about it. Do I want to walk the street safely, or do I feel good about supporting diversity, because that is what I think is a good? You think rich people put up with this? They live separately in their own world. The politicians don’t put up with it. Not your elites, at least. For the Swedes, their open-minded idealism backfired. The immigrants, they openly greeted into their country, are not so open-minded.
