Sweden offers migrants $34,000 to return home Sep 17, 2024 11:30 am By Robert Spencer 17 Comments This won’t work. The migrants in Sweden know the people with whom they’re dealing. They know that there will be no penalty, no downside at all, if they don’t accept the $34,000. They know that they will likely get far more than $34,000 in welfare benefits if they stay in Sweden.

However, the policy has sparked debate across the country. Critics, including the refugee organization FARR, argue that the move is primarily motivated by a desire to reduce the migrant population in Sweden. They point to a recent government inquiry that advised against the increase, warning that it may signal to migrants that they are no longer welcome in the country. The inquiry also noted that the financial and societal costs of the program might outweigh its benefits….
