KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Swedish Minister wants to deport migrants who do not hold Swedish citizenship if they show support to terrorist groups.
- The spokesperson for migration policy in Sweden wants the law to be even more stringent - to include anyone who shows such acts of support.
- Tourists, citizens, and residence permit holders can all be affected by such changes.
Good, immigrants who support terrorism don’t belong in Sweden or any other Western country.
Send them back and let them live with the organization they support.
Yeah, this suuuurely won’t be used to silence pro-Palestine protestors.
If they are non citizen immigrants and are advocating for terrorist organizations who incite violence then they aren’t a good fit for a Western Democracy and should be deported.
Support for Palestine is not support for a terrorist organization. But a law such as this could be used on a pro-Palestinian organizer on the false claim that support for Palestine is support for hamas.
Also, deported where exactly?
What constitutes a terrorist organization is up to the elected officials and police organizations to define. It is not outlined in the article.
Non-citizen immigrants who support terrorists should be deported back to their country of origin.
That’s kind of the point, mate. In the current political climate I half expect them to start describing any organization giving humanitarian aid to Palestinians as terrorists.
But to ask the real questions: is providing material support to terrorists not already a crime in Sweden? Does having a Swedish criminal record not complicate eg visa renewals and make it harder for someone to stay in or return to the country? Assuming that’s the case, why is this something that needs to be specially handled now? Is this actually a problem, or just a way to stoke racism and fear for political benefit?
Because what we’ve found is governments are so good at determining who is right in a particular conflict.
If they are non-citizen immigrants advocating for organizations who use violence to attain their goals then they are not a good fit for Western Democracies and should be deported.
Especially if they immigrated from a western democracy. They need to go back to their hive of evil and treachery. Pesky democracy havers.
Non-Citizens who support terrorist organizations then they should be deported back to their country of origin full stop.
If that is another Western Democracy then so be it.
The issue here is citizens are still allowed to support terrorist organisations since it’s part of free opininon and free speech. So it’s a discriminatory law, which is against the principle of rule of law and equality before the law.
If you read the article it states they are targeting non Citizens.
