This is the truth! In all fairness, the current center government has started to crack down on immigration benefits, so I think immigration is currently down with 50% or so, compared with the heydays of socialist politics.
But in 2 years the socialists will be back, and then they of course need to up the immigration in order to import votes. Yes, you can vote at the municipal and regional level in sweden, without being a citizen. Fortunately you cannot vote at the national level without being a swedish citizen.

I don't think the vision of the US having streets paved with gold is
believed by anyone in the world but working long hours for substandard
wages plucking chickens must seem better than wherever they are.

I think we would be very surprised at how attractive our "shitty jobs" are compared with hanging around, half starved, in a desert all day.
