The welcome mat is not really out in Denmark. The Guardian reports on steps the country has taken to deal with the influx of refugees.
“Under the new Danish law, police will be allowed to search asylum seekers on arrival in the country and confiscate any non-essential items worth more than 10,000 kroner (£1,000) that have no sentimental value to their owner.”
Dealing with a massive influx of refugees is not easy, and, judging from the xenophobic hysteria being ginned up by Donald Trump et al. in this country, the U.S. isn’t exactly in the position to point fingers. But the idea that Denmark and Sweden have discovered “the answer” for social justice, pushed by both Francis Fukuyama and Bernie Sanders, looks even thinner than usual.
