Video: Danes Debate How to Handle Migrants
Politicians in Denmark reacted to a bill that would require refugees to help finance their stay. The proposal is the latest of several recent migrant-deterring measures taken by the country.
"Mr.
Rasmussen said the bill would merely make the same requirement of
refugees that Danish law already does for the country’s citizens — that
they must use their own resources before they can qualify for welfare
benefits.
Other
countries in Europe, even the most hospitable, have also been
tightening their borders against the flow of thousands of asylum
seekers, citing economic and security concerns. Fears are growing that
terrorists are entering Europe masquerading as refugees. Finland has
called on asylum seekers to work without pay, and Sweden introduced identity checks last week for travelers arriving from Denmark, prompting Denmark to do the same along its border with Germany."
These actions are not desirable.
