Answer to submitter. Find a road so that the most vulnerable refugees can stay
Swedish immigration policy has been struggling with major problems since the 1980s. At that time and as a newly graduated pediatrician, I accepted the challenge of helping new arrivals to Sweden and was employed at the pediatrician’s clinic in Norra Botkyrka, a million program area dominated by unmatched and stress -generating box architecture with many problems to face in youthful enthusiasm.
There wanted to live and the environment catalyzed health and social problems in a shadow society for people, who were not able to choose other places of residence. The problems have accumulated and over time has spread to other areas in Sweden.
Problems should be met with analyzes, positions and measures, that was my attitude. However, there was a culture of silence about problems linked to immigration such as crime, violence, exploitation of the welfare system and clan and honor cultures. And if you broke against that culture, you easily got a racist stamp.
Together with I lectured an Iranian doctor at the Department of Social Medicine in Stockholm about health and integration problems linked to immigration, but got the nobben to continue when we also talked about concrete immigrant problems such as crime, honor problems and clan structures. My attempts to introduce an interpreting system with a model from Queen Elisabeth Hospital in London, with cultural competent, bridge -building interpreters, quickly got a racist stamp. After all, it violated the rule that immigrants should have their culture in peace.
With relentless logic, let lets go politics and let immigrants live according to their old cultures in their opposite. The demanding arms changed in its opposite and became the cold hand.
Today, a shadow community with high crime will be met and driven back with dogmatic SD policy administered by a cold-hammered bourgeois government. The human shades and individual assessments have largely disappeared.
The Afghan refugee Ander Barylai’s submitter in DN highlights the problem. He fled 16 years old from a Taliban hell, a country where they have now gone so far that people who violate the ban on singing and playing music are imprisoned. After severe hardships, he came to Sweden with the great wave of refugees almost ten years ago.
He writes from to refuge Paris: « I came with the heart open, with the will to be free (…) I have never stolen, never struck (…) not a crime, not a lie, just silent patience. But the answers I received were cold as ice without grace. »
Ander Barylai, one of many who enriched Sweden, according to the Dublin Regulation will be returned to Sweden from France, where he has moved after expulsion from Sweden. The next step is deportation to Afghanistan.
We will analyze, Take a stand and do a lot to solve today’s immigrant problems and a tougher policy is of need. But we get for it would not be cold -hammered bureaucrats.
We must defend our ideals of freedom and humanity and find ways so that refugees from bad conditions such as Ander Barylai get a residence permit and can stay in Sweden.
