Government makes it impossible for immigrants to do right
Parviz Rahnemoun came to Sweden from Iran seven years ago. He was denied his asylum application but did a so -called track change – if he got a job he could remain in Sweden with a work permit. Since then he has worked and paid taxes. Bought a house and received permanent service. His daughter was born in Sweden (SVT 21/5).
But now, deportation threatens, since the government has removed the opportunity to make a track change since April 1 this year. Even those who have jobs in Sweden need to leave if they once got no on the asylum application. Once back in their home country, they can apply for a new work permit. In other words, it is ineffective hassle for those who get a new service, and an effective way to ensure that many who contribute to the Swedish economy today will never come back.
Parviz Rahnemoun is afraid of becoming one of the latter, when he received a call to court in Iran, regarding previous involvement in the Kurdish political party Komalah. His father was killed by the regime because of the same party membership, when Rahnemoun was small.
Before abolition the track was abolished, Migration Minister Johan Forssell (M) stated that « the special treatment that has existed will not remain » (DN 5/3).
It is well No one who wants an unfair migration system, but now it is about people who are already here and contribute. And for which the government deliberately makes it difficult.
To SVT, Parviz Rahnemoun’s manager does not want to use ugly words, but he notes that « something is wrong » and that the abolition of the track change seems to be symbolic politics.
The result is a system where even the one who does everything is treated as it has been wrong
You can really think so. Symbolic toughness unfortunately defines a large part of migration policy – laws that are only designed to be able to give more rejections and brag about it. The result is a system where even the one who does everything is treated as it has been wrong.
This does not just apply to the track change.
25-year-old Shahrdad Come to Sweden over 10 years ago, his mother has been granted a permanent residence permit but not Shardad himself (SvD 20/5). After long residence permit processes, he finally understood that in order to stay in Sweden, he needed to drop out of university studies and take a job. Although he did just that, he is now expelled, as the job has not been advertised properly. Where is the reasonableness of such a system?
Sometimes you have to take ugly words: It’s like the rules are there to fuck with people.
