Malmo is the third-largest city in Sweden and has been very hard hit by Muslim immigration, with whole areas becoming no-go zones where police and firemen are attacked just for entering. Fjordman has reported extensively about the rape epidemic against European women and girls.

Given the severe social restrictions against unpleasant speech, honesty about the Muslim immigrant problem is rare. Thanks to this brave officer for speaking up, particularly since Malmö policeman Bengt Lindström was fired earlier this year for criticizing Swedish immigration policy.

When you are a policeman you see the consequences of the decisions made by our politicians in a very real way. The immigration policy of Sweden is basically a total failure. Moreover, this experiment is costing enormous sums each and every year. Politicians are now afterwards trying to patch and mend, coming up with various ideas and measures. But it’s totally obvious to every thinking human being that it is about to go to hell ­ in plain speech.

[...] - Many immigrants have no respect for the police whatsoever. Many times you’re treated like you’ve come to collect the garbage. Immigrants have so far only encountered representatives from the immigration and social services. They are used to being stroked the right way and having all of their demands satisfied.

- Certain routine matters, like checking an immigrant’s driving license in Rosengard (transl. note. an infamous immigrant suburb of Malmo), easily get out of hand and become a major event where all available police sources have to intervene to restore the order. Thanks to cellphones a lot of “supporters” join the scene in a very short time when you intervene in Rosengard. If you stop a car for a routine check, soon the whole clan show up to oppose the police.

- Unfortunately a large part of the Swedish people have a distorted view of what is happening and that is due 99 percent to the biased portrayal of reality given by the media. For example they use concepts like “youth gangs” instead of speaking plainly and saying, like in Landskrona (transl. note. another immigrant dense city in Skane) that it’s Albanian criminal gangs who are causing problems.

Powerline has nominations for Worst Newspaper In America, and you can vote. The New York Times is not on the list–it’s the defending champion.The winner is goes up against the New York Times in the finals.

Here are a couple of examples of immigration related bias, one from the Palm Beach Post, a multimedia presentation called “Train Jumping: A Desperate Journey“[Will play sound, if you click on it.] that suggests that either they don’t know Sonia Nazario did exactly the same thing a while back, or they do know, and are copying her in hopes of getting a Pulitzer, like she did.

The other is from the San Francisco Chronicle, which covered Brian Bilbray’s victory by saying thing like “”Disapproval of Bush helps Dems” “ and “”Disapproval of Bush helps Dems” “ then sliding in at the end with “Still, GOP wins.” If you had just been scanning the headlines, you wouldn’t have known that Bilbray won.

But really, no newspapers are good on immigration, either they don’t know, or they don’t want to know. Here at VDARE.com we continue, as we have for seven years now, fighting both misinformation in the MainStream Media, and we’re having a fundraising drive as we do from time to time. Imagine a world in which your only sources of information were your local paper, and the New York Times and give generously.

In Colorado, the local Mexican consul has agreed to take care of some of its medical thieves who are ripping off the taxpayer. Sort of. But not really.

Hundreds of Mexican illegal immigrants are in Colorado not just for work but also for free medical care they say they can’t get back home. Now, Mexican officials have agreed to bring some home and help them find doctors there.

But many of these illegal immigrants - including Eloina Meza, a single mother of a disabled boy featured in the Nov. 13 Denver Post - see little incentive to return to a country where comparable opportunities don’t exist.

Juan Marcos Gutierrez, Mexico’s consul general in Denver, confirmed a new deal negotiated with Dr. Patricia Gabow, chief of the Denver Health and Hospital Authority.

Under the agreement, Denver health workers who provide kidney dialysis to illegal immigrants are guiding those who are willing to Mexico’s consulate in Denver.

The immigrants are told they can receive free travel home and help finding appropriate health care - though they get no assurance it will be free.

The “agreement” is not exactly ironclad, one notices, so nothing substantive will happen. This story is a transparent publicity ploy from the Mexicans attempting to show that they are not complete parasites. If Mexican medical indigents leave — six are reportedly heading home for kidney dialysis — it will likely be for a free trip home for the holidays. What convenient timing.

America is so hopelessly stupid in handing out free healthcare to foreigners while cruelly ignoring the needs of citizens that it takes your breath away. Uncle Sucker practically begs to be kicked in the head because of policies that make it advantageous for illegal aliens to have a sick kid.

Meza probably “is entitled” to stay in the country with her son under immigration-law provisions that grant legal status to people in the country illegally for more than 10 years who also can prove an exceptional humanitarian need, Deasy said, “but the enforcement priorities of the Department of Homeland Security do not appear to include enforcement activities that will benefit a deserving individual.”
["I am here illegally. They wouldn't take me in." Denver Post 11/13/06]

There’s no mention of the cost of the government providing taxpayer-subsidized healthcare to foreigners, but Denver records over one year show 1500 emergency-room patients have no Social Security numbers. The individual cases mentioned — e.g. a boy born massively deformed who required over a dozen surgeries — are total money pits.

The home of many of these people is Mexico, Latin America’s wealthiest nation, which could well afford to care for them. Mexico only dumps its medical indigents on the US because Washington allows it.
