Experts say while it’s too early to know how the plans will really impact migration, the possibilities are concerning.“The general approach is to lower the standards in order to make Sweden less attractive as a destination,” says Bernd Parusel, a senior researcher at the Swedish Institute for European Policy Studies.</blockquote>
