The Social Democrats in Denmark and Sweden have dominated the socio-political spectrum for decades with a discourse based on the principles of solidarity, equality and freedom. Since the migrant crisis hit the European Union in 2015, these parties have strengthened their discourse towards migration and migrant incorporation concerning their access to the welfare system. The use of identity for theory, together with the variables of national identity, the rise of far-right parties, the troublesome fitting of national identity and the EU and the economic revision will be analysed in this thesis. By using an ideal type analysis for a method, this thesis will explore the shift in the discourse from the Social Democrats by looking at their political programs before and after the migrant crisis to find out the changes Third Country Nationals have these days when accessing the system and try to obtain social benefits.
