      Markus Allard initiated heavy debate in 2025 by claiming that Sweden is “the land for/belongs to the Swedes” and that the Örebro party favors a large scale remigration policy. He also criticized the Sweden Democrats for, according to him, allowing too many immigrants into the country under their watch as confidence and supply to the Kristersson cabinet.

      In 2026 ÖP party leader Markus Allard sparked controversy on several occasions. In a debate hosted by Studio3 with Liberal member of parliament Martin Melin, Allard asked: “why won’t the Liberals push for deporting 100 000 social welfare-Somalis?” and in the same debate said that “Sweden belongs to the Swedes. We have to make sure that we take care of our own damn people and we must deport these damn parasites who sit and live at our expense.”

      In a podcast segment about immigration and deportations Allard stated his opinion and said that “They will also be forced to leave, even if they are born in Sweden, because they have no natural connection to Sweden. They are not Swedish.”

      It is good to consider this, but Örebropartiet are quite racist.

    Look I’m going to level with you, MOST immigrants aren’t migrating away from war and oppression anymore. MOST are just just migrating for better education, better pay, and better condition… And not even by much due to the fact that migration these days (again in most circumstances) is done by those who can afford it.

    The west isn’t taking in the poor and huddled masses anymore. We need to wake up to that, we also need to wake up to the fact that billionaires use migration to lower local wages, lower union membership, and ultimately lower conditions.

    … however, everything I’ve just said doesn’t include remigration. Remigration happens to the people who weren’t well off, or educated enough to come in via official channels.

    In short, commercial migration should be reduced. It lowers local wages.

    Humanitarian migration shouldn’t be. They’ll always be wars and levels of poverty or oppression that holds people back. That’s what we should focus on. It’s exactly the type of people subject to remigration that fall into this category.

    EDIT: I do find it funny that this comment, which is simply making a distinction between migrants of need, vs middle class economic migrants - is the most heavily downvoted.

            Yes, customs does actually sometimes help to trace crime. Having a paper trail of how goods and money travel BETWEEN NATIONS helps trace crime. Knowing who is in your country and who just left helps trace crime. Borders are not that difficult a concept to grasp.

            Maybe you’ll learn… From the safety of the border you sit behind.

            Move to a place with less border protections if that’s what you value, Transnistria perhaps.

            You’ve switch the goal posts, this section of replies has become about “what would happen without National Borders”. It’s not about modern immigration systems anymore.

            When borders are dissolved (as they are in poverty, chaos, and war) disease spreads more easily, international criminal gangs operate with impunity, smuggling, kidnapping and people smuggling occur, murders and attacks escalate, gangs and unreported crimes increase.

            Claiming that stating that, is really just saying “migrants are criminals” - when the topic has CLEARLY become about something else (a hypothetical about National Borders) is bullshit. Bait and switch.

            The topic for this branch of replies is CLEARLY no longer simple immigration.

      You got sources on any of that?

      You do understand why there are less jobs and lower wages where they come from is often directly tied to wars generally driven by western powers. Many still curently active even. Hati, Cuba, Palestine, nearly all of South America.

      Do you really know any of these people to speak like that of them? I do, and that’s not representative of most of them. Chile, Brazil, Ecuador, Venezuela, Bosnia, Palestine, Haiti. All of them are already planning to return the moment it becomes viable. The main reason several of the Bosnians I know are still here, has nothing to do with commercial opportunity etc. But the fact that they had kids born and raised here and didn’t want to uproot their lives as well. Several moved back the moment their children moved out.

      If they come here for education, something we are going to see less and less of in the US for sure as we collapse. Why is that something to hold against them. Without many of them we’d already be fucked. And plenty of them go back home to improve things there too.

      And hate to break it to you. Immigrants don’t lower wages. Capitalists do. We allow them to exploit unprotected classes. You want wages to go up? Give migrant workers similar protections as local workers. So they can’t be exploited worse than local workers.

        I’m not holding anything against anyone (nor did I speak ill of anyone) by pointing out the facts of the system… And of course an American like you thinks everyone is a fellow American talking about America.

        “Immigrants don’t lower wages” - maybe they should stop accepting lower wages then, and perhaps join the union (no racist unionists aren’t stopping them, you’re speaking ill of people there). They don’t join the union and they accept lower wages because they’re in a more precarious position in the new country, and have less skills to navigate the new languages/systems. Employers can use someone’s status to effect tgeir work visas. Nothing to do with “racist unionists”.

        “Without many of them we’d already be fucked” ahh yes, the endless growth model. Funny what you defend of Capitalism and what you reject. You’re really just trying to appear culturally and morally superior on topics like race and gender, whilst still supporting neoliberal Capitalism - and you’re not even aware you’re doing it. That’s what the cultural programming aims for: false consciousness.

        Ultimately we’re all humans in a system. Yes we can spend all day mindlessly complaining about the capitalist billionaires or coming up with fanciful ideas of how the world should work. But we have to deal with what is.

        I’m sure I’ll continue to be downvoted and you’ll continue to be upvoted because people prefer the hopeful fantasy, to the systems we hate, but that are here to stay.

        I didn’t build this world, but I’m not going to lie about how it operates.

          Not holding anything against anyone but flouting baseless unbacked “facts”. Now you’re getting even more offensive.

          What I provided was only anecdotes. But that’s more than your providing. And you could easily disprove it all by even providing basic facts. Instead of just calling things facts. You know how I know they’re not facts? Because that’s shit I low-key believed myself back in the late eighties as a young sheltered Midwestern teen. It wasn’t true then either.

          I get downvoted left and right all the time by statists. It’s just something you get used to. And doesn’t always mean wrong or right. Honestly often it’s the opposite. Real Talk there’s no shame in being wrong. Sometimes it’s a gift and an opportunity. The only shame is in choosing to continue to be wrong or to not question what you believe.

          Blaming exploited people for being exploited is victim blaming. I would think that would be pretty obvious why it’s not popular. We should focus on blaming the people doing the exploiting. If you actually want to understand why they let themselves be exploited. It’s not hard. Often being exploited here is still better than the conditions at home. That doesn’t make it right or acceptable.

          Yes the system isn’t going to change if we all just passively accept it and the propaganda it puts forth as truth. As you have. Thankfully I think a lot of the kids are all right these days. Not nearly so bad or jaded as my fellow Gen X or their Boomer parents.

            Often being exploited here is still better than the conditions at home.

            As I already stated. Anyways, I’ll let you get back to your “unions are racist, workers of the world unite, but we do need immigrants for endless growth” bullshit. Very conflicted bullshit which is only propped up by “you’re racist and I’m not”.

            Meanwhile migration in a globalized world IS a part of union busting. Migration is used to lower wages (as you agree, I assume from your “being exploited here is often better than at home” comment (which was in my original comment already, and again there I mentioned that “official” migration is mostly done by the more well off - who will still work in slightly worse conditions here rather than fight for better condition back home).

            The first thing Musk did at Twitter was to replace the staff with migrant programmers on work visas, even convincing them to sleep in the office.

            Class consciousness can only stretch so far when times are tough, what broke the left and allowed Trump’s rise (via enticing the working class right towards MAGA), was leftists of infinite patience and optimism like you. Those whose ideals outstrip reality, and morals outstrip consideration, and now you’ve once again smited “yet another racist” you can ride off proclaiming yourself morally superiority and imperviousness to propaganda.

            Yes the system isn’t going to change if we all just passively accept it and the propaganda it puts forth as truth. As you have.

            Very good you pompous nonce. Now fuck off on your high horse.

              As someone who would tend to identify as a syndicist anarchist. I’m actually quite Pro Union. At least in the local sense. Not in a hierarchical national sense. Perhaps you’d have a better time talking to people if you listen to them. Let them tell you who they are. Rather than making up things to comfort yourself and fit your beliefs. If you’ve been paying attention you’ll note that I’ve not made any assumptions about your personal beliefs. Merely addressing things you’ve actually said. Not making strawman. But addressing you factually. That’s what someone does in a good faith discussion.

              That immigrants are being taken advantage of to bust unions isn’t the fault of the immigrants. You’re victim blaming again. Don’t do that. Immigrants are our brothers and sisters as much as anyone is. You want to stop the Union busting. You get them into the Union. You get them representation and rights. Busting busted. Until you do that the bougiest of the bourgeoisie are going to always find another group to abuse in order to hurt workers.

                Mother fucker, in your very first reply you told me I was speaking ill of migrants. In the very next paragraph of your current comment you’ll tell me I’m victim blaming, when I’ve repeatedly said we’re all humans in systems, and outlined why migrants do what they do.

                You’re the one who wants to reward the system with a cheap, exploitable labour class.

                Anyways I’ll let you get back to your “anyone I don’t like is racist and hates immigrants. It’s the fault of Unions who I support” (again, your views aren’t coherent).

                Anarcho-syndiacalist - “Everyone but me should do more for me”

Good for you, having values is important, maybe one day you’ll try applying them and you’ll see how they’re flawed by practical, on the ground, reality.

      Local wages wouldn’t lower if unions welcomed immigrants and they (unions) did their job. Or if you mean stuff that’s clandestine work (like meat packing plants), those abuse migrant workers who are poor and desperate, some of which are children, not the kind of migration you were talking about.

        I nominate your country. That’s essentially what open borders would allow. After all, no borders then no animal importation restrictions. Hell all the criminals of the world could use it as a central shipping location for sex trafficking, drugs, illegal animals.

            A murder commited by a migrant in europa only happens because he wasnt adapted to society, so we can assume he wasnt adapted right even in his country aswell. That is why they dont want him there anymore, we hear in News we cant fly some people back because in their home countries they would be tortured or imprisoned.

      It doesn’t even work as intended because the incentives are strongest for people capable of working, etc. It’s the more integrated people who miss home and/or face a lot of racism that leaves, and our right wing government pays them to leave.

        Humans migrated for a millennia because it was natural to rotate environments to reduce depletion. It is a human right to leave your environment for something better.

        It is not my belief, it is other people’s belief in imaginary lines that make up countries that cause this immigration problem. It is not about is it a good thing because that is subjective. It is simply something that has always happened.

          You know human rights are imaginary as well?

          It is not my belief, it is other people’s belief in imaginary lines

          When you say “other people’s” you make it sound like what you’re saying isn’t insane, you’re part of like 0.001% of people who want an endless planet with no borders or countries, that’s insane to most people.

          Humans migrated for a millennia

          Humans have fought over land for a millennia

          it is other people’s belief in imaginary lines that make up countries that cause this immigration problem

          At no point in history has a tribe or group of people ever welcomed endless migration with open arms because there are obvious issues that come with this that are realised sooner or later.

          We are in the or later part.

            Maybe your imaginary, who knows.

            I just pointed it was like this for thousands of years. This is a fact.

            Immigrants are not migrating to fight so your point is silly.

            No one said you have to welcome them with open arms. That is not what is going on here.

        Sorry, I meant the push to far right extremism like anti-immigration rhetoric not a specific instance of someone who has been deemed unworthy and therefore undeserving of human rights.

            Once again I am sorry, I was referring to far right extremism and the act of dehumanizing people not your personal belief.

            I would suggest reading up on criminalizing people especially minorities. I am not trying to deny your personal experience, I just don’t want it it to taint you perception of a lot people who may not deserve it.

            You may be correct and there are some individuals that needs to be removed, but we should be careful because almost every single immigrant I have met has been a good worker and a honest person.
