Minister Anders Ygemans statement that up to 80 000 asylum seekers could be deported from Sweden has been questioned during the day.
Anders Ygeman think that the figure may be reasonable.
– It remains of course to see, it is the Migration Board and the Migration Court, which assesses how many who may stay and obtain asylum in Sweden and how many will return.
• But if it’s that kind of assessment ask why you mentioned 80,000 at all, it is about signaling policy?
– It is not the signal politics, it is about magnitude of the task that lies ahead, says Anders Ygeman.
Most asylum applicants last year thus came from countries such as Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, and they are largely asylum.
And those who still are rejected expelled rarely in practice because countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan is so difficult to expel to.
Often they refuse to accept the people and question their identity and whether they are indeed citizens.
And then there is not much that the police and the Immigration Service can do, says Patrik Engström, head of the Border Police, over a wobbly telephone line from Wasawa.
So if it actually be talk of some 80,000 expulsions can not Patrik Engstrom answer. Even today there are over 20 000 people in Sweden who have been rejected but not yet expelled.
And for Migration Morgan Johansson emphasizes that the government understands that it is difficult and that the work of expulsions will take several years.
– There will of course be increased police forces before this, and we are preparing police, says Morgan Johansson.
