ID checks for everyone crossing the Danish-Swedish border at the Øresund Bridge have been in force since Sunday midnight. The Stockholm government wants to stem the refugee flow by requiring photo identification before being allowed across the border by bus, ferry or train. Sweden has taken in more asylum seekers per capita than any other European nation, but now the government said it could no longer cope with the unregulated flow of new arrivals. Sweden, a country of 9.8 million people known for its generous asylum policies, took in an estimated 160,000 asylum seekers last year alone.
