In Sweden, our current government has introduced a new law, the law on duty of information. The goal of the law is an increased exchange of information and means that employees working within municipalities and authorities must report to the police if someone is staying in the country without a permit.
The left who opposed this law nicknamed it the "squealing law" and some employees of municipalities and authorities said they would refuse to inform the police on people staying in the country without permission. These people AKA activists believe they are morally right and that the legal system is wrong and thus are above the law. However, the issue is more complex than these activists understands or wants to make it appear.
Regardless of where you stand on the issue of illegal refugees, it is a crime to stay in Sweden if you do not have permission to do so. Should it be possible for a person with foreign citizenship to illegally enter Sweden and thereby commit a crime without having to be held accountable for this and hence also gain access to school, childcare and healthcare at the expense of the Swedish taxpayers? And in that case, what other crimes should be okay to commit and not be held accountable for? And above all, who is to decide which crimes are okay to commit and which are not okay to commit?
Whatever you think of it, politics is ultimately about standing different groups of people against each other since there is only a certain amount of tax money available and everyone wants it, either for themselves or others. When you provide schooling, childcare and healthcare to people who are staying illegally in Sweden, tax money is used up that could, for example, instead have saved the lives of people who literally die while waiting in line for cancer care, who are both ethnically Swedish people or people of foreign origin who have come to Sweden legally.
