Do the Swedes agree with their government’s migrant payout scheme | DW News

The Swedish government is offering to pay migrants $34,000 if they go back to their home country.

The conservative government’s migration minister said this was part of a paradigm shift in Sweden’s migration policy. Migrants who leave voluntarily can apply for the $34,000 starting in 2026. That amount is 35 times higher than the existing grant, which has been in place since 1984.

  1. So wait a minute Swedish politicians use the hard working people money to maintain illegals and now they are using the same money to kick them out ?
    Looks like the voting pools don’t look to good for them 😂 they are desperate

  2. Dumb of Sweden showing sign of weakness! U have to be harsh and hard on the migration issue to discourage those who consider coming to Sweden! This will be misused and abused! Sweden – wake up, u will be the ones at loss here if u take this peaceful and tolerant path!!!!

  3. Seems like people in power are practically waving goodbye to our cash while giving us the middle finger, like, 'Thanks for the donation, now watch us do the exact opposite of what you want!

  4. We pay quite high tax in Sweden, I find it outrageous that the government is wasting it on something that is not required. Just deport those who are associated with gang crimes or other violence already. That will be a start!

  5. There are a lot of so-called "expats" in Sweden from North America. I wonder if they might suddenly remember that they are immigrants after all. This is just more xenophobic racist nonsense from Sweden's radical right arm of a shockingly incompetent government.

  6. Man, i wish its for tourist too? I will visit sweden before camping around europe 😂 I understand if it was britain, france, german or any other former colonial powers to at least return some of wealth they have stolen, but i dont think sweden used to colonise other nations.

  7. I wish that someone give me 34000 USD! I'M a German and my government not care about people like me!!! We don't receive NOT Help! I know many people that it's without job and have children and nobody helps them!!!But Immigrants receive 3,000 EUR without never working in Germany!😮 OUR GOVERNMENTS GIVING SI MUCH MONEY TO THE CRIMINALS!!! 😮😮😮😮

  8. We do not have the details worked out..😂 Their going to have immigrants leave and in 2026 add into the the policy leaving many who have left out of luck.. and out of Sweedan!

  9. Are they going back to open Racism?

    What will they do with mix race swedes?

    Will white swedes be visiting Africa and the Caribbean for vacation ? And will they be welcome there?

  10. I'm curious, is this about illegal immigrants only or all of them? I see people saying "end their benefits instead", which can't be done for people who are there legally, they also pay taxes.

  11. I'd love that money from my government so i could leave for good! Also how effed up to see such an amount being given freely out of taxpayers money😂 – thanks to democracy 😅

  12. Why would they take only one years free salary (immigrants call their benefits ”salary”) when they can stay longer and receive more? It’s a complete waste of Swedish taxpayers money. Also there are almost 1 million immigrants that are completely unemployable. This madness has to stop!

  13. European citizens and their politicians should wake up giving immigrants money to leave your country can't solve the problem China is one point something billion people them are moving forward Europe is not up to that and them are crying colonial master time is coming Europe is going to be like Africa european think them are ok but their not China is going to destroy european market very soon

  14. Spain did that and didn't work because when they realize how much they spend they need immigrants to work and pay taxes so they can recover the money 😂😂😂
