To draugadrotten, I found it odd that someone would link to an Asian news source for information about Sweden, rather than a more local source like http://www.thelocal.se/20151009/tents-to-provide-shelter-for... which also gives more context.

So I looked at your history, which is more odd since I can't figure out why a Scandinavian like yourself would post a link to Channel NewsAsia.

As it turns out, the text is from Reuters, which is a news service that provides content to many newspapers and news sites. A better source for this Reuters piece is therefore http://uk.reuters.com/article/2015/10/09/uk-europe-migrants-... .

I see from your history that you've done this before. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10095517 considers your link to an FT article as "blogspam", because of FT's paywall policies, and instead suggested you link to the original Reuters article. Indeed, I cannot read the FT page you linked to, but I can read the one from Reuters.

So as a suggestion, when you want to link to a Reuters piece in the future, link to the actual Reuters one.

Regarding the topic, we need mandatory quotas for all European countries, now. And the US should feel itself morally obligated to take in many more refugees as well.
