11/06/2008: "Sweden to relax laws to welcome low-skilled workers"

Sweden is all set to relax its existing immigration laws to make the country more accessible for thousands of low-skilled workers, seeking employment in the Scandinavian nation.Swedish Minister for Migration and Asylum Policy Tobias Billstrom, while speaking at a programme organised by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry, said the country would amend the existing laws, opening up its shores to blue-collar workers outside Europe.

The country will also give out a generous two-year work permit which will be eligible for extension several times, he said.

Billstrom stated that migration was positive force in the increasingly globalised world and this was the reason behind the Swedish government's decision to reform the immigration regime in several decades.

[ Migration to the west can never be considered a "positive force" unless the goal is genocide. ]
