Hit Em Again with the K-nowledge!

Come on! Is this not common sense??!

There are bad people wherever you go, and if you have qualified for and have been granted citizenship, then you have all the rights afforded to you. However, no matter your background (native or not) you are obliged to follow the laws of the land, and should be punished accordingly.

I am not for this secondary class of citizen or any rubbish like that. If the governing authority has checked you out (as they should anyone who is applying) and decided to grant you citizenship, they can't turn around later and say because you have now committed a crime AND are not originally Swedish your punishment is going to be different. That makes no sense.

If someone already has a criminal background, and you have already allowed this person to enter the country anyway, then if you have a law that says because of your criminal history you cannot be granted citizenship, then so be it. They know that coming in.

So, if you are one of those people who fall into that category and decide to stay anyway and have a baby or 2 who are automatically Swedish citizens at birth, then just like anywhere else, if you commit yet another crime in this land, you're going to face a very hard reality which now involves the lives of your offspring. I mean, if everyone who has children never commited a crime, then the world would be a better place. The reality is that people are people, and for whatever the reason, we will always have crime. The most a governing authority can do is hope to reduce it.
