The purpose of this study is to examine the Swedish parliamentary debate on migration policy that has been shaped during the last three parliamentary elections. This study attempts to analyze how The Swedish Democrats and The Moderate Party frames and portrays migration as a problem. Using frame analysis, this study provides an overview of what frames are prevalent during the debate over the course of each period. Essentially, this paper explores how migration has been conceptualized, particularly how the problem has been defined, what the underlying causes are, what remedies are proposed and what moral values are extracted. As demonstrated in the result, there has been a change in the discourse over time as The Moderate Party have to a greater extent moved away from a responsibility framing to a framework that problematizes migration more like the way The Sweden Democrats portray migration.
