It puts a massive strain on an extensive welfare state like Sweden which is primarily supported by the notion that people who can work will work to help provide a good life for those who cannot work. Not for those who will not work. Add to this that a large portion of our welfare system is highly accessible even for people who are in the country illegally.
There are several things to address here. Number one is that even those who work part-time do actually work and are not unemployed. I would also like to hear how they do over a longer period, 15+ years. Several years are lost until they finally settle down in one place, learn the language and, in some cases, necessary training.

Crime is generally connected with poverty rather than religion or culture. England has much more immigrants than Scotland, and much lower violent crimes rate.
