    Swede here, absolutely not, around 2015 or so we got hit by the mass migration wave, there were plenty of documented cases of migrants throwing away or destroying their documents to try and claim refugee status when they clearly didn’t need it, thus taking spots from actual refugees.

    There were also real refugees who did this, they registered in Greece, Spain, Italy or other southern Europe country, but then they kept going north, trying to get to a better country. At that point you are no longer a refugee, but an economic migrant.

    I 100% oppose these migrants.

    The dumb thing is that the EU would distribute refugees throughout the union, just because you registered in Spain, didn’t mean you had to stay there, you would stay for an interim period and be distributed to your proper host country.

    I have zero issues with migrants/refugees who come the legal route, learn the language, work, and integrate in the culture.
