Claim: The deportation law has nothing to do with migration policy.

Migrant Tales: It has all to do with migration policy!
The pushback law has not only brought several pressing questions about how Finland respects Human Rights, its Constitution, and international agreements, but it continues to reveal a decades-long policy on how to keep out certain national groups like Muslims from Finland.
Finland’s migration policy has been enforced to look at outsiders with suspicion. In the 1970s, when thousands of Finnish migrants were moving to Sweden, the government considered bringing labor migrants to compensate for the huge loss in man- and womanpower.
The government decided against such a move and today we are paying a big price for such a decision.
Let’s look at the present government’s immigration policy, with the support of government coalition party members National Coalition Party, Swedish People’s Party and Christian Democrats. The long-term policy has been to keep migrants, especially Muslims and blacks, out of Finland.
Thus especially today the immigration policy of the government is racist by design.
