Deportations, as in after commiting a crime, should be on the table instantly for violent crimes commited by migrants.

Note that I am not talking about general deportations of normal, well adjusted migrants, but migrants commiting violent crimes.

As for language and culture classes, we allready offer them for free to all migrants, Svenska För Invandrare, it is however critisized for only offering low quallity classes, which is a big problem that needs to be adressed.

My wife signed on for SFI after she moved, and found that the level and expectations were so low she had difficulty staying engaged with the classes and course material.

She looked into private tutoring and was fluent in Swedish in 4 months, and ended up teaching Swedish to highschool aged kids after just 2.5 years.

To this day she wonders if SFI wasn't secretly designed to push anyone with any kind of ambition out of the system.

I personally think it's a case of bigotry of low expectations, but it's clear it really doesn't work for the intended purpose.

This tracks with what I have heard about it, and also tracks with my expectations of the Swedish government in cases like these, they dumb it down to the lowest possible standard to get good stats on the usage and success rate of it.
