Behave or Get Out: Swedish Parliament Passes “Good Behavior” Law

Sweden has had it with unruly immigrants. After violent crime has skyrocketed in recent years, the country is pushing back.

The Daily Wire reports:

The Swedish parliament passed a law on Monday that has the power to rescind immigrants’ residency permits based on their behavior.

The country’s parliamentarians passed the “good behavior” law, which covers pending and current Swedish residents. The law targets immigrants who are affiliated with extremist groups, have unpaid debts, or are doing undeclared work.

“Anyone ‌who doesn’t make the effort to do the right thing shouldn’t be able to count on staying,” Johan Forssell, Sweden’s minister for migration, said when he proposed the “good behavior” bill in March.

The law comes before the parliamentary election in September and is part of the Right-wing government’s crackdown on crime and high levels of immigration, issues that won the Right-wing party the 2022 election.

*Stands and claps*

I love this for them. If someone wants to enter a country as a newcomer, it is common sense that you shouldn’t act like a dirtbag if you expect to stay. And the country needs to do something, because the changes in their crime rates are terrifying.

Sweden is also facing a massive increase in violent crime. According to the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention, there were reportedly 769 rapes in 1975 and 10,167 rapes in 2024, which is an increase of 1,222%. In recent years, there have been rising numbers of shootings, bombings, and gang violence in Sweden’s suburbs, which have negatively affected the country’s peaceful reputation.

And all this on the heels of the bombshell rape-gang report from the U.K. These crime statistics should serve as a stark warning to leaders in Europe and the United States—you need to start prioritizing your citizens. Unchecked immigration is dangerous, and loose policies are costing lives.
