Most of the violence we've seen in Sweden in recent times has come from poorer neighborhoods, which do tend to have more immigrants in them. However, based my research so far, I can't tell if these neighborhoods are poor because of immigration, or if it's because of other policies. A lot of people here seem to be assuming it's just the former, but I think we should be careful with jumping to such conclusions.

Is the problem here really immigration, or is it poor integration of immigrants and economic policies that have increased inequality in Sweden?

You assume that money is the only reason for violence even though I feel safe when I'm in a slum in Vietnam

There was an article from a swedish newspaper that claims the same thing but it's written in swedish. https://kvartal.se/artiklar/svag-koppling-mellan-fattigdom-och-brottslighet/

It's also about 60% of the rape cases here that is comitted by foreigners and 98% of the gang rapes that are comitted by foreigners. 

Ayaan Hirsi Ali has been talking about this recently but basically everyone here in Sweden knows it.

I've posted this article before on city-data. I'm not convinced the idea of a mass melting pot is a good thing. My kind of ideal nation would be socially conservative, capitalism with heavy doses of social programs thrown in, and homogeneous, like the Nordic nations used to be before the "global elites" thought force feeding refugees on them would be a good idea. The problem comes down to the replacement rate and to be able to sustain social programs with lower birth rates, you need more young people (or robots) to keep the system sustainable. Hopefully we get the robot thing down in the next 25 years or so.

I would encourage everyone here to take a look at the video Epikur posted above. It goes into quite a lot of depth on this issue and provides a nuanced and well information coverage of this subject.

Unpopular opinion, and I am open to discussion, but I guess the MASS migrant influx hasn't done much good for some of these European countries.

@kray The MASS migrant influx hasn't done any good for the American countries either. Just look what they have done to real Native Americans. Genocide, war, illnesses, opression and destruction... Horrible! And after centuries of opression the First Nations still didn't get back their land and they are still discriminated by these white Europeans.

Unpopular opinion, i know...
