Emigrants but reversed

I found an article about Vilhem Moberg's book "Utvandrarna" (The Emigrants) (a Swedish classic) which has been transformed in to a reversed theater piece. Instead of being about Swedes leaving Sweden, it's about the people coming there, today. So many are critical of the immigrants today, but it is important to remember all the Swedish people who had to leave Sweden to survive during the 1900 century, which is not a long time ago at all. Why is ok for us to emigrate when we need it but not ok that others immigrate? The answer is pretty easy.
