Today’s press conference with Morgan Johansson contained characteristics of the most prominent disciplines, stupidity and cruelty.
The report of the Migration Commission was to be finally presented after a lament, a lament and a political disagreement, and the Social Democratic Minister of Migration radiated relief from the first second that it was possible to alleviate misery to the government table.
Johansson welcomed, said something about long-term sustainable policy and quickly handed himself over to the competent Thomas Rolén, the everyday chairman of the Court of Appeal, but in this context chairman of the parliamentary committee.

For the most part, this looked like something the cat had dragged along, and who can blame him for that after hearing a polite and low-key description of the problems that came up during work.
It has not been possible to get all parties to support the entire report. Investigators have had to look for jumping majorities. Some areas have been completely abandoned and moved to the trash.
It was the small press room in the Government Offices that was used for the show, leading to the conclusion that someone had a well-founded feeling of how great the media interest really was.
Despite the fact that the SVT announcer on a live broadcast tried to mislead viewers by telling them that “there are a large number of journalists at the venue” and the elderly TT worker, Owe Nilsson, sat in the usual order.
Rolén bit down and told things we already knew, such as that it is proposed that the main rule be temporary residence permits, that permanent permits should only be granted after three years, and that maintenance requirements should generally be imposed on relatives who come. here.
What conclusions can be drawn from the proposals?
More than I have space at my disposal, but before I go into the swamp, let me point out something as obvious as that it is good to look for solutions between blocks to problems that will last in time and any change of government. This applies especially to immigration policy.
In the fall of 2015, almost 10,000 refugees arrived a week. The limit of what Sweden can handle was put to a severe test.
Those who advocate the continued reception of refugees at that level must also answer how it should be done and not least how well-being should be maintained and financed.
But that said, there are problems with immigration research. For example, that it is part of a larger political context. And that context is not really connected.

Asylum seekers recently arrived in Malmö 2015.
Let’s just take the dominant issue right now, gang killings.
On the one hand, there is no party that does not want to get rid of serious crimes. On the other hand, it is as if part of that solution to the problem is spelled integration.
But politicians who are currently declaring to voters day after day that they want to do something about the shootings, are at the same time working to effectively help people find it more difficult to enter society with the help of a increasingly strict immigration policy.
After all, it is mainly things other than Swedish toughness that determine the size of refugee flows, such as the wars that are going on and the efficiency with which Europe builds walls. Greater generosity would have been possible without significant importance to volume.
This is how it looks these days, most of the time. Outbursts that, at best, are as dumb as the tracks left when the train arrives or heartless in a way that doesn’t lag behind the poor reforms of Oliver Twists England. And as in the worst and most probable case, both parties are at the same time.
A selection from the last weeks:
Morgan Johansson has raised questions about the burning refugee camp in Greece. A dozen other EU countries rise up to receive a few hundred people each, but the government is vaguely referring to the Swedish Immigration Board rather than taking a political initiative to take its share of the responsibility.

Great fire in the Greek refugee camp of Moria.
Liberal Party leader Nyamko Sabuni asked the press to explain that honor killings, Islamist radicalization, and criminal clans are not only the same phenomenon, but also a problem that runs in the same families, which is a qualified nonsense.
KD leader Ebba Busch set a new but sadly unrivaled record, who vehemently proposed that the Riksdag decide to pay for the construction of prisons in several countries whose leaders do not reveal their lack of respect for fundamental human rights. Foreigners who commit crimes in Sweden must be sent there.
The common thread of this and other sadnesses is, of course, Jimmie Åkesson, whose growing pool of voters will once again attract the traditional parties.
The press conference on the nearly 600-page-thick wick ended in 17 minutes, and five minutes later the general question time was bypassed.
At the time, Johansson, probably the prime minister in modern times, had avoided the reliable saying “now we send the report for consultation” after a state investigation was launched.
This is because there is a dispute in the government and discussions are required with the Green Party, which wants only some of the proposals to be implemented.
The Migration Minister’s headache may have temporarily subsided, but there are reasons to fear it will return.
Outside, in the open air, a camera was being photographed by a woman I vaguely recognized.
She was dressed like a politician, smiled kindly, nodded, and then came back to help her friend get a good photo.
