the minister for Justice and migration minister Morgan Johansson is in a hot spot. It is also where he should be. Migration, in particular integration, is the is the real crucial issue, not least because it touches on so many other topics. Jobs, schools and crime are just three areas that are intimately linked to how the integration works.
Johansson of the Swedish Radio about the changes to the legislation on ebo, private accommodation. There has long been talk of changing the rules but the Greens and the Left party has set itself transversely. Now is the time, according to the januariavtalet: if an asylum-seeker settle in some socially disadvantaged areas, will they lose their daily allowance.
Here, there is an obvious conflict with liberal principles. Adults must stay where they want without government regulation, and it is reasonable to asylum seekers wanting to stay near family, friends and fellow countrymen. But the crowded living conditions in many vulnerable areas is evident, with all what it carries of integration problems and health risks.
which leads people who are not established straight out in areas where the unemployment rate is huge and the school performance is low,” said Katrin Stjernfeldt Jammeh (S), the president, in Malmö, to Aftonbladet the year 2017. Just Malmö hear together with Södertälje, sweden, to those municipalities most affected by the law’s effects.

A related topic where the immigration minister also stated is family immigration. According to januariavtalet to families to have a greater right to be reunited in Sweden. It is estimated to be about approximately 8 400 close relatives – spouses, cohabitant and children, particularly women and children – under three years of age.
the Decision has received criticism precisely because it increases the number of migrants. But the important thing is not how many who come to Sweden, but what happens when they come here. To be reunited with the family have positive effects on the integration and increase the motivation to adapt to the new country.
if the discussion begins to be more about ”how” than ”how many”. It is true that Sweden in the autumn of 2015 lost control over migration, it was bad for both the recipient country as refugees and may never occur again. But the right of people to move across borders must be defended. The important thing is what better life they can get when the border is crossed.
For Sweden in the year 2019, it is about reducing exclusion. It does so through the language, education and jobs, which means both the requirements as motivation and mutual adjustment. A new arrival should be expected to do what he can to quickly be able to stand on its own in Sweden, and the Swedish policy have to be controlled after the integration to go as smoothly as possible.
own accommodation (ebo) in lieu of the accommodation provided for some of the asylum seekers helped to complicate the integration … the Right to family reunification should apply.” These words of wisdom can be read in one of the parliamentary parties lost their immigration policy program.
It is fortunate that the parties in the januariavtalet was inspired by the Christian democratic party.
