Sweden's snitch law immigration plan prompts alarm across society – forcing public sector workers to report undocumented people decried as utterly inhumane

Jacob Lind, a postdoctoral researcher in international migration at Malmö University, said the Swedish proposal was likely to have little impact when it came to reducing the number of people without papers in the country.

“A lot of people are not going to leave,” he said. “They’re just going to end up in further misery. You’ll end up with the opposite effect; society will have even less contact with people who are in this situation, further increasing their vulnerability and making them even more exploitable.”

Do you want a seedy unregulated, untaxed, black market underbelly? Because that's how you get it. You get "doctors" that treat (read: abuse) patients in back alleys. You get people charging undocumented immigrants triple the normal price for basic goods or services because they're too afraid to go out and risk getting reported. You get perverts pretending to be gynecologists working out of storage buildings.
