Recently, so-called teenage deportations have been heavily criticized. This involves young people with temporary residence permits receiving deportation orders when they turn 18, even though their parents have the right to stay.
At Thursday's meeting of the Riksdag's Social Insurance Committee, the Green Party, with the support of S, V and C, presented a proposal for temporary legislation to stop the expulsions until a long-term solution is in place.
The vote will take place on Tuesday next week, but the proposal does not appear to have enough support.
Migration Minister Johan Forssell's message is that the government is working to present a permanent solution as soon as possible.
"We shouldn't have panic solutions. We shouldn't have stopgap laws, which I think will take longer to get in place," he says.
What we need is a permanent solution that helps this group of well-behaved young people finish high school and build a future for themselves in Sweden, he says.
