How the hell is the EU supposed to deal with all those US refugees
Turns out, Sweden's refugee policy would allow Mexican-Americans (and anyone whom Trump has threatened) to seek asylum!
If Nanaimo, British Columbia doesn't work out, I heard Oslo is nice.
Oslo is in Norway, a different country, and they are rather restrictive. On the other hand, Oslo is a rather American city, by Scandinavian standards.
Don't count on the asylum. Country's full, I'm afraid. The restrictions are tightening, and they don't seem likely to budge in a long while. There is a similar deep, deep divide on the matter, too, considering on how poorly the migration has been handled for the last ten years. Hell, there are roving bands of Afghan sex offenders (minors, although it's fair to assume that many have lied) in most major cities, and the general establishment and media are more concerned about the (warranted) xenophobia that creates rather than the victims and the collapse of law and order on the streets, cooing "But it'll play in the hands of the nationalists!! Hush-hush, for the Greater Good!" day in and day out. There is a terrible, terrible backlash building on account of all this. The establishment, left and right (but mostly left, due to their monumental influence), has abdicated from every single responsibility it could. What they
feel is "right" is more important than what is necessary to run the country. And people are getting fed up.
It's what happens when people start dismantling a nation state because they want their cosmopolitan "world citizen" fantasy to come true. When you let anyone in, no questions asked, with no demands or overwatch of their behaviour and attitude, because it "feels right", because of
oh so humane policy founded on luuurv herp derp humanitär stormakt. Most countries have pretty big backlashes brewing up, and I think the big Trump-Splash
tm is going to set them off. At this point, that might be for the best.
In brief; If you are escaping an ugly election and a worrying precidency, Sweden will not be the best choice. The next election is in two years, and it will be very, very ugly. You're welcome to try, though. If you do, contact me, and we can form a paramilitary militia for sensible people together.
(Not to mention; dealing with American/Mexican asylum seekers wouldn't be too difficult for the EU, not in comparison with Sudanese or Afghan asylum seekers.)
