<p>If you read my article about Madeleine Albright on Monday, you know that I agreed with her controversial words &ldquo;immigrants are a burden.&rdquo; Albright was referring to the current migrant crisis in Europe. ;Sweden is facing a similar problem. And the Sweden Democrats (SD) is fighting back. After taking a strong lead in polls, party leader Jimmie Akesson announced that the immigration issue would be put to a national referendum as soon as possible. ;</p>
<p>&ldquo;We have come a long way &ndash; but we&rsquo;re going even further. We&rsquo;re about to show how we&rsquo;re able to run the country,&rdquo; said Akesson.</p>
<p>Inward migration is a huge problem in Sweden. Akesson blames the country&rsquo;s generous welfare policy. &ldquo;What is it that causes people to risk their own and their children&rsquo;s lives to come here? I dare say that it is down to other parties&rsquo; lax policies on welfare.&rdquo; ;</p>
<p>Over the past few months, Sweden has suffered a series of attacks on government buildings as well as increasing tension following the deaths of a number of Swedish citizens that were attacked in an Ikea store by a band of Eritrean migrants.</p>
<p>Sweden has even been compared to Iraq due to frequent grenade attacks. Violence towards Christians has increased by threefold during the past five years.  ;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Sure, it&rsquo;s a long way to the election, but it is obvious that we need to start planning to be prepared to take real responsibility for the country,&rdquo; said Å;kesson. &ldquo;We should be the establishment. We should dominate the public debate.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Many consider SD to be Sweden&rsquo;s answer to the libertarian UKIP (UK Independence Party). The photo above shows the flamboyant signs SD hung up across Sweden&rsquo;s public transport system to apologize to tourists for &ldquo;the mess here in Sweden.&rdquo; ;</p>
