Learning the native language should be a requirement of any immigrant in any country regardless of reason for immigrating.
READ and be less Ignorant.
Because Sweden can obviously just copy everything that the US does and vice versa, culture, people, governments, locations, trade deals and everything in between obviously doesn't exist.
LUL MIDDLE EAST IS SO DUMB, WHY DONT THEY JUST BUILD IT FROM THE GROUND UP LIKE THE BRITS DID WITH THE US!? BECUZ THEY R LAZY AN STOOOOPID
do you even read what you type or have any understanding of the world at all?
Do you even know what you're talking about. I'm not talking about building the Middle East I'm talking about integrating foreigners. It's a cultural issue between the western west and the western east. The western east are just a bunch of traditionalist worried about people speaking other languages and daring to not throw away their own culture while the western west is busy accepting other languages and accepting and integrating other cultures. It is why we succeed far more than you guys on the other side of the Atlantic do.
Again, do you really struggle with the fact that most migrants are presumably able to be functional in English ? Again, I live in a place where our provincial government have tried for decades all kind of moronic laws to force migrants to speak French, and the results are dismal
(French is a langage that is at least taught in Africa, North Africa. While, to be blunt, Swedish....)
It's going to be pretty hard to recruit Scandinavian speaking migrants, folks (because, in addition to all the other issues, the resident rabid racists for Denmark spend their days making thread about how they hate Sweden)

You succeed more than us because you've got the manpower of 300+ million people and embezzle and destabilize other nations for money.
And my point was that if Sweden can merely copy & paste the american system and everything will be honky dory, then why hasn't it been done?
because it doesn't fucking work in a tiny nation like Sweden with a population under 12 million.
Why can't other countries just copy what the US did and enpower their own nations if it works so well?
Answer: Because it doesn't work like that, and you got no clue as to what you're talking about. Keep living in your bubble.
Would you want to live in Sweden? Norway? Iceland? The Netherlands?
If not, why would you not want to live in some of the countries with the highest average standard of living, safety etc.? That's pretty much the same kind of question. Some people do not necessarily view the US as one of the best places to live, and that's perfectly fine.
It's still disrespectful to move to a country and not at least make some effort to learn the native language. Regardless of if you can get by without it or not. Plus, finding a job in Sweden is - or can be - quite difficult if you don't speak Swedish, so chances are that you will have a very hard time finding work if you don't. Because people actually do care about it.
I'm not ''for'' or ''against'' : I'm saying that English is way more attractive that Swedish. Period.
