You are absolutely right; when faced with a problem, seeking solutions is stupid. The important thing is to apportion BLAME.
Then Sweden should first of all make it harder for non refugees to enter as did Australia and even demand that the USA and UK deal with them.
No nation should try to emulate Australia's disgraceful and inhumane policies on migration.
Taking someone in is your choice. There are a lot of skilled Syrians also but it's worth finding out more about the background of anyone you take in and don't know. It's not about Nationality. You could take in a friend of a good friend who is Swedish but turns out to be drug dealer.
Sure. Being nice to people is risky; so we should all be as horrible as possible for our own protection
If a crime is committed the responsible party must be held responsible and make reparations.
Really? What reparations and responsibility are we going to enforce on Joe Stalin?
Sometimes the responsible party cannot be forced to do anything. That's no reason not to help their victims.
Australia advised that those who make the trip by boat illegally, “there is no way you will ever make Australia home”.
Nowadays if a boat is picked up they are sent to centres such as Papa New Guinea or Nauru. Anyone accepted as a refugee is offered places like Cambodia, Papa New Guinea or Nauru.
I know all about Australia's system. It is vile, and an embarrassment to our nation.
Just like anyone else, Australia has a points system. So both its emigration and immigration systems work.
That rather depends what you mean by 'work'. The Boer War concentration camps 'worked'; as long as you were not a Boer woman or child.
We take strangers into our houses at our own risk.
Countries are not houses. They are ALREADY full of strangers.
Or do you personally know all the citizens in your country? I doubt even in Liechtenstein that that is possible.
Since the war is ongoing and only started a short while ago, this would may be valid Of course hundreds of years later it would be invalid. Sweden can always provide one way tickets to the UK. The French did that (at least once) from Calais. If someone is illegal in the UK without papers, he isn’t jailed but let loose again.
For there are many sweatshops and high priced hovels (sheds with beds) provided for illegal workers where they are unlikely to be sue for illegal treatment.
Australia is simply applying a sensible immigration policy and in fact does genuine assist asylum seekers.
Points systems are pretty standard.
Just like a house we want to minmize the risks of who is coming in. Is the plumber a plumber or a rapist. ID would help and prior confirmation from the service office would minimize the risk.
Countries are NOT houses; They are not 'like' houses; and no 'sensible' policy includes concentration camps. None. Ever.
There are no concentration camps in Western Europe or Australia.

Concentration camps, paid for by the Australian Government as a part of their current Immigration Detention policy. Calling them 'Regional Processing Centres' doesn't change their true nature.
They are not "in Australia"; And I am sure their inmates are just as happy to be there as a result, as the inmates at Guantanamo Bay are (and were) not to be "in the USA".
There were no Concentration Camps In the United Kingdom during the Boer War either. That doesn't mean that British policy then, or Australian policy now, doesn't include the use of Concentration Camps.
Perhaps before you wax lyrical about how wonderful the Australian Immigration policies are, perhaps you should take the trouble to find out what they actually entail.
Support for the current Australian Immigration policy is inseparable from support for Concentration Camps. Your glowing review of how excellent the Australian solution is, is redolent of the glowing reports of how clean and orderly the Third Reich was in the mid 1930s; or of how wonderful it was that Mussolini had made the Italian trains run on time.
