Record high asylum immigration to Sweden
Last year, the number of residence permits
for refugees and asylum seekers was 50.100 until November, according
to the Swedish Migration Agency 's statistics.
As asylum and
refugee policy harshened in the autumn 2015 maybe many have expected one steep
decline in asylum and refugee immigration. That can be delayed. Part of this
can be explained by the fact that the number of immigrant relatives increase.
In a historical perspective it is only one year, 1994, which can be measured with
today's levels.
