Sweden refugee policy was a failure not because they took in refugees.

Its because idiots forgot its a country of a few million and taking 100's of thousands is a bit unwise.

 

 

The fact they had to shut down the flow and take control of the situation showed without a fact that unchecked open door policy of Sweden was a failure and that countries like Norway, Denmark, Finland that are around it do not face those problems. 

Well, Germany took in millions of immigrants from the east after World War II, much more than they did even today, and seemed to have recovered from it just fine.

That was a different situation entirely. First, the immigrants from the east came over not all at once, but gradually over time, years and even decades. It was easier to prepare for. Second, many of the immigrants were German themselves, so language and culture wasn't an issue. Third, Germany was still recovering from the Second World War and the industrialized West's rapidly growing economy was always in need of more workers.
