Meijer is her party's leader in the Swedish Parliament's Justice Committee, and is from the same party as prime minister Ulf Kristersson.
The Sweden Democrats became the second largest party in the Riksdag in the most recent elections, driven by firm opposition to immigration.
In Europe, "Only France, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands can show a similar figure, but the structure of immigration in these countries is linked to immigration from former colonies," she says.
Meijer says in several Swedish municipalities, more than half of the inhabitants have an immigrant background, which has caused fundamental change.
"A high level of migration in a relatively short period naturally affects the possibility of integration. The conditions for integrating people into Swedish society are becoming more difficult as immigration increases. This leads to exclusion that is burdensome, both for the people who live in it and for society as a whole."
"For integration to work, people who both want to move here and who already live here need to adapt to Swedish society and our values. You must work, speak Swedish and do your duty before claiming your rights. Those who do not want to adapt and integrate should not stay in Sweden. Expulsion or repatriation should then be a real alternative."
"It has become clear, for Sweden to be as good a country as possible for all the people who live here, we must have minimal asylum immigration here for the foreseeable future. It is needed for our country to hold together," Meijer argues.
