In 2015, during the [[European migrant crisis]], a total of 31,145 asylum seekers, most of whom came from Afghanistan and Syria, crossed the Norwegian border.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://snl.no/asylsituasjonen_i_Norge_2015_og_2016|title=Asylsituasjonen i Norge 2015 og 2016|last=Garvik|first=Olav|date=2017|website=Store Norske Leksikon}}</ref> In 2016, the number of asylum seekers dramatically reduced by almost 90%, with 3460 asylum seekers coming to Norway. This was partly due to the stricter border control across Europe, including an agreement between the EU and Turkey.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://forskning.no/innvandring-samfunn-samfunnskunnskap/2016/12/fra-30-000-til-3000-asylsokere-hva-har-skjedd|title=Fra 30 000 til 3000 asylsøkere, hva har skjedd?|last=Amundsen|first=Bård|date=23 December 2016|website=Forskning.no}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://ec.europa.eu/home-affairs/sites/homeaffairs/files/what-we-do/policies/european-agenda-migration/background-information/eu_turkey_statement_17032017_en.pdf|title=EU-Turkey Statement 2016}}</ref>

The [[Progress Party (Norway)|Progress Party]] has named the reduction of high levels of immigration from non-European countries one of their goals:
: "Immigration from countries outside the EEA must be strictly enforced to ensure a successful integration. It can not be accepted that fundamental Western values and human rights are set aside by cultures and attitudes that certain groups of immigrants bring with them to Norway."<ref>[http://www.frp.no/nor/mener/En-enklere-hverdag/FrP-fra-A-til-AA#id38159 The Progress Party's politics] (In Norwegian) From the official website of the Progress Party (23 November 2014)</ref>

An extreme form of opposition to immigration in Norway were [[2011 Norway attacks|the 22/7 attacks]] carried out by the terrorist [[Anders Behring Breivik]] on 22 July 2011. He killed 8 people by bombing government buildings in Oslo and massacred 69 young people at a youth summer camp held by the [[Labour Party (Norway)|Labour Party]], who were in power at the time. He blamed the party for the high level of Muslim immigration and accused it of "promoting multiculturalism".<ref>"[https://archive.today/20141123214301/http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/europe/07/25/norway.terror.attacks/index.html?_s=PM:WORLD Prime minister: Norway still 'an open society' despite 'the horror']" [[CNN]], 25 July 2011</ref>
