Sweden: Dying to be Multicultural (2017) - A journalist looks at the problems mass immigration has brought to Sweden and asks if it is at all sustainable [01:02:00]

Pelle Neroth Taylor argues that in becoming multicultural Sweden is trying to copy America; a reiteration of the theory that, following WWII, Europe lost its identity and became an outpost of the USA.

I have pasted a synopsis of Sweden, Dying to be Multicultural: The rise and fall of the Humanitarian Empire (his book that the documentary was based on) below.

Amazon:

Sweden, one of the world's most successful countries, is being transformed by immigration. Sweden's elites want their country to be a "humanitarian superpower".

The writer demonstrates though that, setting aside the bonus points with international opinion that Sweden gets for its virtue signalling, the demographic changes are having profound effects on all aspects of Swedish society. On crime, schools, the social security system, and ultimately Swedish culture itself.

If current levels of immigration continue, in two decades Swedes will become a minority in their own country.

Even setting aside the fact that Sweden will be a different place in which natives will not feel at home anymore, will it even be economically sustainable?

At the moment, only 25% of asylum seekers and relatives who arrived eight years ago have full-time jobs. Foreign-born individuals, 20% of the population, receive 57% of social security. The welfare state will be under enormous pressure. While still rich, Sweden had the lowest per capita economic growth in the OECD in 2017.
