Show Swedes Not Interested In Migrating to U.S.A. NEW YORK - The Gothenburg Trade & Shipping Journal reports "America fever" rages in Norway and Denmark but not in Sweden. United States immigration quotas of 2,377 for Norway and 1,181 for Denmark are filled for years to come by prospective emigrants but the quota of 3.314 for Sweden remains re-mains unfilled year after year. For the last two decades the movement of Swedish immigrants into the U. S. has been more than compensated for by the return to Sweden of Swedish-Americans mostly elderly people. The "back to Sweden" attraction is apparently stimulated by legislation legisla-tion there which makes it possible for "ex-Swedes" to regain citizenship, citizen-ship, after ,a two year residence, and also to benefit from comfortable old age pensions provided by Sweden's Swe-den's social legislation. |
