One proposal from SD was to cut immigration with 90% - but I don't think that they will be able to enforce that seeing as all other political parties refuse to cooperate with them. I'm very curious to see how things play out.
Sweden have always had a tradition of hospitality and generally held a very humanistic view on the whole issue. Right now one in five or one in seven (depending on which statistics you use as source) Swedish citizens are from a different culture.
For example, the municipality of Södertölje have accepted more Iraki refugees than both USA and Canda combined.
During the post-war era Sweden's was booming and we needed manpower which often came from Greece, Italy, Turkey, Austria former Yugoslavia and later Finland. During the 80-90s we also accepted a lot of refugees from Yugoslavia, Chile and the Middle East (especially Iran).
This has all been written about in various pieces on the Nordic socialism models and how they start to unravel when you have a material population of visible minorities from recent immigration.
