    Default Denmark passes controversial bill to seize assets and valuables from refugees

    Denmark's Parliament passed a controversial law on Tuesday that allows authorities to seize valuables and cash from refugees.

    The measure was part of a larger immigration bill, and its approval seemed certain after the government reached a parliamentary majority for it earlier this month.

    Much has been written about this small aspect of Europe's current tendencies to oppose illegal immigration. But while the law applies strictly to Denmark, it could have consequences in other European countries in the future.

    The government has said that passing the law was the right thing to do and was meant to help pay for refugees' expenses. But critics continue to disagree.

    In December, The Washington Post reached out via email to the Danish Integration Ministry and asked it to define what kind of jewelry the country would seize.
    At the time, the government replied:


    "It is explicitly mentioned in the bill before Parliament that the new rule on seizure will only apply to assets of a considerable value. Thus, foreigners will always be able to keep assets which are necessary to maintain a modest standard of living, e.g. watches and mobile phones. In other words, the general principle of a minimum amount exempt from execution also applies in this context." "Furthermore, assets which have a certain personal, sentimental value to a foreigner will not, as a main rule, be seized unless they have considerably value. "

    The correct term is ' refugees ' - and they should remember the help given to the Danish refugees of the Nazi occupation. What are you ? Racist ?

    No, the correct word is economic migrants for the most part. Only one third of those migrants are even from Syria and indeed the vast majority of those are young single male army deserters. Like most Americans, you don't know shit from shinola about the situation and think you can transpose your PC bullshit onto it. Have you heard of the Dublin Regulation, somehow I doubt it!

    Xenophobic babblings from a cheerleader for ethnic cleansing can only aid the refugees' cause.

    The European Union is committing 'ritual suicide' with its migration policy, warns Slovak PM, as EU commissioner claims 60% are economic migrants and are not fleeing from war

    • Robert Fico has urged the 28-member bloc to stop the inflow of migrants
    • Called EU's planned system for distributing migrants a 'complete fiasco'
    • Netherlands' EU commissioner claims more than half of those flocking to Europe were not fleeing from war

    You have demonstrated without any shadow of a doubt that you have absolutely no understanding of what's going on in Europe. Which is why you resort to cliches, slogans and Leftist agitprop bullshit.

    My God, it took you a while to invoke Godwin's Law but you got there in the end. Well done!

    The holocaust all over again. Each member of parliament that voted for this law should be executed to set an example. We need to deter the far right in Europe, not immigrants.

    Before they're executed, though, they should have all their assets above 1,500 dollars confiscated. That includes their homes, cars, everything. Since apparently that's all a human being should be allowed to have, their families will be just fine afterward.

    Does this mean that you want your father to be shot and all his assets confiscated??

    Of course that would mean that you would be living in a cardboard box, next to a swamp.
