Sweden is the latest country to learn that growing population through open immigration is a very dangerous balancing act. According to World Population Review, Sweden is the third largest country in the European Union and has been growing its population largely through immigration.

The Guardian.com is reporting that while 160,000 immigrants from various war torn countries may seek asylum in Sweden between 60,000 and 80,000 of the applicants will be rejected.

Of course it is a way of saying that if you come here and don’t have a case for asylum, then you won’t be able to stay,” said Victor Harju, spokesperson for Ygeman. “You can seek asylum in Europe but there are a lot of safe countries where you won’t be troubled by war and persecution, so you don’t necessarily have to end up in Sweden.
