I am a migrant FROM Sweden(to Switzerland) and the Swedes absolutely want you to speak Swedish. At least this has been my experience living in Switzerland. They prefer that

I speak broken German rather than English. Even many who speak English flawlessly. But you will be tolerated if you are overall a net contributor, that is right.

Yes, that's fair, I think tolerated is the right word.

I'm tolerated for not speaking Swedish, but I would not be tolerated if I was a criminal, went directly against Swedish values loudly or was a net drain on society in some other way.

Well, this guy's party would end that toleration because you don't have Swedish ancestry. Is that good?

No, not all all? Markus Allard doesn't seem to want to kick out productive members of society.

Who decides who those are, eh?

I think it’s pretty straightforward, and I suspect most people do. If your working and paying taxes and otherwise integrating, you are.

What does "otherwise integrating" mean, and do you really want to expel everyone who receives tax money (so the entire government) and everyone who is unemployed?
