[quote=Anonymous]One of my college friends has dual American and Swedish citizenship. He lived over in Sweden after college until now (almost 20 years).  He's now back living in the US and I asked him how could he possibly want to live back in the US when Sweden has all of that great healthcare, public services, etc.

Well, he said the healthcare was overrated for starters. Sure, there's universal coverage, but it also meant long lines, rationing, and not always getting the care you need because of cost cutting.  He was always very liberal, but even he said Sweden has far too much immigration that's ruining the country.  I was shocked that even someone like him would say something like that. He described Swedish cities as now 'dirty' and having way more crime because of immigrants who were not assimilating and refusing to do so. He also cited things like Muslims demanding to have separate pools for men and women due to cultural norms.  In summary, he thought the country was a s show now because of unchecked mass migration.  Sure, the US gets massive amounts of immigrants he said, but the US handles it way better because it has always been US identity.  Mass migration is a lot more devastating to individual countries with their own identities based on monolithic culture. [/quote]
