Denmark Will Seize Refugees Valuables To Cover Costs Of Settling Them

[Anonymous]

This is a good way to disincentivize economic migrants and Islamo sympathizers seeking easy entry into Europe with few costs.

COPENHAGEN – Danish lawmakers voted Tuesday to let police seize valuables worth more than US $1,500 from asylum seekers to help cover their housing and food costs while their cases were being processed.



After more than three hours of debate, the minority Liberal Party government's bill was adopted in a 81-27 vote, with the support of the opposition Social Democrats and the anti-immigration Danish People's Party – Denmark's two largest parties. One lawmaker abstained and 70 others were absent.



mendments were made, including raising the value of items the asylum seekers can keep from 3,000 kroner (US $440) to 10,000 kroner (US $1,500). That brings it in line with welfare rules for Danes, who must sell assets worth more than 10,000 kroner before they can receive social benefits.



Denmark received about 20,000 asylum seekers last year while its neighbours Germany got 1.1 million and Sweden 163,000.

"We are talking about a real exodus," said Martin Henriksen, immigration spokesman for the populist Danish People's Party. "More needs to be done: we need more border controls. We need tighter immigration rules."



Opponents criticized the government for tightening Denmark's immigration laws and called for a common European solution to the continent's immigration crisis.



"This is a symbolic move to scare people away" from seeking asylum in Denmark, said Johanne Schmidt-Nielsen of the opposition left Red-Green Alliance that opposed the law.



Denmark is not the only country taking such action. Some German states do take fund from refugees and Switzerland requires asylum seekers to hand over cash of more than 1,000 francs ($996).



The bill was part of a raft of measures that included extending from one year to three the period that family members must wait before they can join a refugee in Denmark. Denmark already tightened its immigration laws last year, reducing benefits for asylum seekers, shortening temporary residence permits and stepping up efforts to deport those whose applications are rejected.

The idea is to discourage refugees?



I don't like it.

Seems like these people become refugees. Risk their lives to get somewhere. Then what ever valuables they might have are taken from them. Why not line em up and shoot them. What about it Dede, Iron Chink? Sometimes I think they'd be better off? No one really cares anyway.

So they come to a place where they receive social benefits while sitting on wealth that is higher than what Danish people themselves can receive?  How is that fair?

Then you agree. No one gives a shit. Blow em away. Fuck their only human beings anyway.

When you say sitting on wealth, what does that mean? A few trinkets they brought in their pocket?

Do you have a learning disability? She asked how is it fair that some migrants are sitting on wealth while collecting social welfare benefits? If they have the means to cover all or part of their own costs, why should Danish taxpayers be forced to pick up the tab for people that can pay for themselves. If they are broke, they don't have to worry about the new rules.

It's only "trinkets" that exceed what a Dane would be allowed to have.



I would expect those coming to other countries to receive benefits that do not exceed that which citizens of that country receive themselves.



Do you think they should receive more?

Twenty seems to write his own opinions where Romero posts his from Huffington Post.

Romero is a copy/pasta hypocrite and TD is just not very bright.

I give both him and Romero a shake. I'd take a dozen of each over one fucking oddstain.

I don't agree with the action being taken by Denmark.



They should be seizing their assets and then telling them to fuck off!!!

Hey, Twenty...if anyone SHOULD give a shit, it is the gulf states, Malaysia, Indonesia and Sudan.



These are muslim nations.



So, in accordance with muslim doctrine, a muslim cannot turn away another muslim in need, and must welcome them into their homes, feed and water them and give them shelter.



Oddly, I don't see these muslims crowding the beaches of these nations, where they are surely to be welcomed in accordance with their faith. I don't see Malaysian or Indonesian aircraft flying into Europe to collect their brethren and take them to an islamic safe haven. Perhaps they know something we don't.



They seem to think that Europe is a better option. Now, a cynic may suggest that they are using their region's ongoing mayhem and warfare as an excuse to jump queues, push pass fences and insist on being welcomed in countries with which they have no cultural or religious connection, merely to improve their quality of life that is denied them in their various islamic havens.



Why is the fact that they have failed utterly to develop, mature and evolve as western countries OUR problem?
