Despite being offered €31,000 to remigrate by the Swedish government, polling shows that very few migrants would accept the offer. As Remix News previously reported, the Swedish government is making a significant monetary offer of 350,000 Swedish kroner to foreigners living in Sweden to voluntarily return home. It is also important to note that this amount would be paid out per person, which means a family of four could receive €124,000. Still, these foreigners are so desperate to live in Sweden, a majority White country, that the vast majority of them said they would reject the offer, according to a poll conducted by the website Alkompis. The poll showed that 77 percent of those questioned in the survey said that they were not even interested in the increased amount, and only 15 percent said that they would be interested in the offer. The others are uncertain. However, of those 15 percent who said they were interested in the offer, it is possible that very few of them would actually go ahead and accept the offer. Despite these low numbers, even a small percentage of foreigners accepting the offer could result in tens of thousands of people remigrating. The poll also revealed that 90 […]

Sweden has announced plans to pay migrants 350,000 SEK (€30,809) to return to their homeland in a new voluntary remigration scheme proposed by the center-right government. Remix News was one of few English-language sites to report on the plans proposed last month by then Migration Minister Maria Stenergard and reviewed by the Swedish justice ministry. “For those who have not entered Swedish society, remigration can be a way to create a better life for themselves,” Stenergard said at the time. “This is one of several ways we achieve sustainable immigration that strengthens integration and reduces exclusion,” she added. This week, Stenergard was appointed the new foreign secretary and succeeded by Johan Forssell who announced the new policy on Thursday. “Migrants who voluntarily return to their home countries from 2026 onwards will be eligible to receive 350,000 Swedish kronor (€31,000),” he said. Even those with Swedish citizenship will be eligible. Forssell, whose appointment was backed by the right-wing Sweden Democrats who influence government policy, said upon starting his new role that the government must commit to remigration and abandon the open borders policies of the previous liberal administrations. “The important thing now is that we should not return to the previous […]

For the first time in EU history, Germany is at the forefront of immigration suspension. Other EU countries will follow. Schengen Zone The Schengen Area is an area encompassing 29 European countries that have officially abolished border controls at their mutual borders. Immigration Crackdown Reuters reports Germany Tightens Controls at All Borders in Immigration Crackdown. Germany’s government announced plans to impose tighter controls at all of the country’s land borders in what it called an attempt to tackle irregular migration and protect the public from threats such as Islamist extremism.The controls within what is normally a wide area of free movement – the European Schengen zone – will start on Sept. 16 and initially last for six months, Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said on Monday. The government has also designed a scheme enabling authorities to reject more migrants directly at German borders, Faeser said, without adding details on the controversial and legally fraught move. The restrictions are part of a series of measures Germany has taken to toughen its stance on irregular migration in recent years following a surge in arrivals, in particular people fleeing war and poverty in the Middle East. Recent deadly knife attacks in which the suspects were […]

Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Education has revised its admission protocols to allow Syrian and Yemeni students on visit visas to enrol in local schools. The new change follows a recent surge in inquiries about transfer and admission procedures for the current academic year, prompting the Ministry to streamline its guidelines across various educational levels. For secondary students, transfers will now be governed by the Equivalency and Transfers Guide within the Pathways System, a detailed framework designed to ensure smooth transitions between different educational systems. Elementary and middle school transfers are also being standardised, following regulations set out in the Guide to Admission and Registration in Public Education, with strict adherence to established transfer timelines. Additionally, the circular outlined policies for children of diverse backgrounds already residing in the Kingdom. This includes children of Saudi nationals who face bureaucratic issues in being added to family records, as well as children born to Saudi mothers and non-Saudi fathers. The Ministry also continues to support the educational integration of children from families previously residing in the Kingdom without legal status, who have now been documented and fingerprinted by the Ministry of Interior.

Two expat women, driven by dire financial circumstances, were lured to Bahrain with promises of work as waitresses, only to find themselves imprisoned and forced into dancing at nightclubs. The victims, who traveled from their home country to Bahrain, were tricked by a man who, in collaboration with his associates, exploited their vulnerabilities and forced them into a life of exploitation. The case unfolded when the first victim, facing financial hardship and desperate to support her family, was contacted by an unknown woman who offered her a waitress position in Bahrain with a salary ranging from 160 to 330 Bahraini Dinars.

The unknown woman then coordinated with the defendant, a Bahraini man, to arrange the victim’s travel expenses, taking advantage of her financial struggles.

Almost 1.7 million foreigners residing in the U.K. (migrants) are out of work or “economically inactive,” costing taxpayers an estimated £8.5 billion per year according to a new report. An analysis of government figures by the Centre for Immigration Control shows that the current levels are the highest ever, surpassing a previous high of 1,628,000, recorded in 2012. The £8.5 billion estimate doesn’t even include the costs of asylum seekers, who are routinely placed into four star hotels, as well as foreign students, meaning the actual cost to a British taxpayers is probably much higher. In addition, the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) has revealed that the Home Office spent a staggering £7.9 billion in just three years on asylum, border, and visa management when its budget was just £320 million. They went £7.6 BILLION over budget. IFS research economist Max Warner told the BBC “When there is a one-off unexpected spike in costs or demand, spending more than was budgeted is entirely understandable. But when it is happening year after year, something is going wrong with the budgeting process.” Robert Bates, of the Centre for Migration Control research director, told The Daily Mail that “For all the talk of a fiscal ‘black hole’, the Labour Government seem to […]

The High Appeals Court has upheld a three-year prison sentence against an Asian man for his involvement in a bank card scam that defrauded a victim of over 1,000 Bahraini dinars. The court found that the defendant had collaborated with an accomplice to deceive the victim through a fake phone call, leading to the theft of funds. The victim received a phone call requesting an update of his bank information through a provided link. Upon clicking the link, he was instructed to enter a series of numbers, which he believed were for security purposes. However, after entering his confidential information, the victim received a bank notification confirming a withdrawal of over 1,000 dinars from his account. Realising he had been scammed, the victim filed a report with the General Directorate of Anti-Corruption and Economic and Electronic Security.
