Sweden proposes to compensate migrants from third-world countries with $34,000 for self-departure.
The country's migration policy is undergoing a significant transformation.
The Swedish government is undergoing a "paradigm shift" in its migrant policies, with the Minister of Migration announcing a program to pay migrants up to $34,000 to return to their home of origin.
The migration policy was announced by Minister Johan Forssell after the right-wing bloc took over the government last week, with an anti-immigrant wing calling for better integration of migrants from countries such as Yugoslavia, Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia, Iran, and Iraq.
"Sweden's migration policy is undergoing a shift, with the government intensifying its efforts to reduce the number of irregular migrants coming to the country."
Sweden refers to unauthorized aliens residing within its borders as the "shadow society" and pledges to enhance deportations.
The steep costs of the new policy would not be justified by the government-backed report's findings on its effectiveness.
The country is tightening its asylum system by phasing out permanent residence permits and setting limits, even in cases of exceptional circumstances.
The government will examine ways to modify Sweden's asylum-related immigration legislation to ensure it complies with EU and international law.
The right-wing bloc, including a nationalist anti-immigration party, won a narrow majority in Sweden's parliament last week, marking a significant political shift in the country that has a long history of welcoming refugees but is facing a crime wave linked to immigration, according to the Associated Press.
Ulf Kristersson, the leader of Sweden's Moderates and a possible prime minister, stated that they will now get Sweden in order.
Jimmie Akesson, a populist leader, stated that it is necessary to prioritize rebuilding security, welfare, and cohesion in Sweden. He emphasized the importance of putting Sweden first and asserted that the Sweden Democrats will play a constructive and influential role in this process.
