Sweden could deport between 60,000 and 80,000 asylum-seekers in coming years, according to the country’s interior minister.
Anders Ygeman told newspaper Dagens Industri that since about 45% of asylum applications are currently rejected, the country must get ready to send back tens of thousands of the 163,000 who sought shelter in Sweden last year.
“I think that it could be about 60,000 people, but it could also be up to 80,000,” Mr Ygeman was quoted as saying.
His spokesman Victor Harju confirmed the quotes on Thursday, adding that the minister was simply applying the current approval rate to the record number of asylum-seekers that arrived in 2015.
Mr Harju added: “That rate could of course change.”
Germany and Sweden were the top destinations for asylum-seekers in Europe last year.

This such manufactured crisis.
Nobody should blame them. These refugees are attacking sexually and assaulting the citizens. A lot of Europeans now fear for their lives.
Europe is falling and it’s devastating that it is happening right now and by the end of the year, we will be completely invaded
Raping women and children is now acceptable to Germans as you can they are still taking in those refugees.
Good for them! especially all the young men below 35 years of age.
Where will they deport these 80,000 to? They should never have let them in and this will bring another crisis because who will have these 80,000?
