People acting out to get what they want is not new. These people are taking it to a whole new level. People who have been denied Asylum in Sweden are refusing to move [news.com.au] until their family is granted residency in the county. This is similar to a child holding their breath until they get what they want. In other countries people applying for asylum on humanitarian grounds have cut themselves, doused themselves in petrol and threatened to end their lives. How is this any different? Observers say that the only way to bring these people back is to grant them residency. If Sweden does this, then will millions of future immigrants threaten to end their lives by slow decay?
