You have to hand it to the government. When they decide to screw things up, they really go all in. They don’t do it halfway. They commit to the bit.

Let’s talk about the current **Sweden immigration crackdown**. For a long time, Sweden walked around with its nose in the air, acting like the moral compass of the world. They were the nice guys. They were the ones who opened the doors when everyone else locked them. They loved the smell of their own goodness. It was a performance. But shows end. The curtain comes down. And now, Sweden is tired of being the nice guy. Now they want to be the tough guy. The problem is, their **Swedish migration policy** is just as stupid at being tough as it was at being nice.

Here is the reality behind the headlines. There is a woman named Sofiye. She came to Sweden from Uzbekistan back in 2008. Do the math. That is nearly two decades. Think about what you were doing fifteen years ago. You were a different person. She built a life. She didn’t sit around. She got a job. She works for the municipality. She helps people in their homes. She is the kind of person you want in your country. She works, she pays taxes, she stays out of trouble.

She learned the language. Her kids go to school there. Her youngest son was born there. Her oldest son is eighteen and studying to be a technician. He doesn’t know anything about Uzbekistan. Sweden is his home. But the **Sofiye deportation case** exposes the rot in the system. The government looks at this family—the mother who works, the son who is studying—and they say, “Get out.”

They moved them to a **return center**. That is a fancy bureaucratic word for a waiting room where dreams go to die. They stripped them of their dignity. Sofiye said it best: Sweden made a supportive gesture with its hands, lifted them up, and then—bam. Dropped them on the floor.

This is how the state works. It doesn’t matter if it is run by the bleeding hearts or the iron fists. The politicians right now are panicked. They see the polls. They see that people are angry about crime and gangs. So the politicians need to look busy. They need to show that they are “cracking down.” But governments are lazy. It is hard to catch bad guys. Bad guys hide. You know who is easy to find? Sofiye.

She is right there. She is on the payroll. She is following the rules. So when the government decides they need to boost their deportation numbers, they don’t go after the dangerous ones. They go after the easy targets. They go after the mom who is busy taking care of old people. It is **competence expulsion** disguised as justice.

The Right will tell you this is necessary. They are lying. Kicking out a home-help worker does not save the nation; it is economic suicide. The Left is no better. They invited everyone in without a plan, used them as props for vanity, and now that the wind has blown the other way, they are quiet. The system they built is chewing these people up.

This isn’t about immigration anymore. It is about competence. If you have a person who has been there for fifteen years and is contributing to society, you keep them. This isn't rocket science. It’s common sense. But common sense is the one thing you will never find in a government office.
