Should Sweden increase or decrease the amount of temporary work visas given to high-skilled immigrant workers?
Skilled temporary work visas are usually given to foreign scientists, engineers, programmers, architects, executives, and other positions or fields where demand outpaces supply. Most businesses argue that hiring skilled foreign workers allows them to competitively fill positions which are in high demand. Opponents argue that skilled immigrants decrease middle class wages and job tenure.

Increase, to give more opportunities and bring diversity to Sweden's workplaces is super important. More diversity brings new solutions to old problems. The problem here is that companies take advantage of that and give lower wages to them. There should be a minimum wage and equal wages and opportunities to both immigrants and Swedes. There should be more transparency on that through the Swedish government.
