[Sweden] Cost of receiving immigrants 'to double' by 2010 / The Local, 14 March 2007

"The cost to the Swedish state of receiving asylum seekers is set to rise to 12.2 billion kronor ($1.7 billion) by 2010, double the 2005 figure. The rise is largely due to more generous new laws introduced last year, which has led in particular to a large number of Iraqis being allowed to stay."
