That does not matter to them. The far-right are completely unfazed by inconsistencies like that. In Sweden they started deporting immigrants -- well integrated, working immigrants -- because they had too low salaries. What was the limit? Higher than the collective bargained lowest salaries agreed on by the state and the union. Did the state raise the salaries then, because they just admitted they are too low to fucking live here? No. "Stay poor" is the message they want to give to citizens, and "go die" to immigrants.

    They are deporting people because their job doesn’t pay them enough?

    Who do they expect to do that job? Do they expect employers to pay more to the next person they hire? (Why not just increase the wage for the original employee?)

    Yes.

    Edit: Not only that. But when the state is the employer! (In a broader sense, at least, eldercare is regionally organized, not nationally)

    So since Sweden is part of EU and Schengen, it cannot deport EU citizens on this basis. So they tried to import EU citizens instead to fill the gap (who did not speak Swedish like the people they deported).

    It is the apparent inconsistency of the salaries being too low and too high at the same time which reveals what their intention is: racism. Do they think the salaries are too low? No, because then they would approach the public sector unions and say "we fucked up, here is your money". It is only too low for some people. For some people, it does not matter if they speak the language, have a job, or whatever. Some people just need to go.
