Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven said on Tuesday that the country will curtail its liberal asylum policies, saying it is "no longer capable" of accommodating the droves of refugees who continue to flock there.
New temporary legislation will restrict the number of migrants seeking asylum to the "E.U. minimum" and restrict their right to bring their families into Sweden, The Guardian reported.
The announcement of the legislation comes two weeks after the country introduced stricter border control policies , which forbade migrants from using Sweden as a waypoint en route to other countries.
