Well, behaving like a Socialist Country:
Ramslog decided on the spot that she would help: She ended up giving two young couples, a small child and a newborn baby a 120-mile ride in her cramped sedan to their destination in Sweden. “When we crossed the border, they rejoiced and cried,” she recalled.
In another context, Ramslog might be known as a good Samaritan.
But the Danish government has a different term for her: convicted human smuggler
But when it has come to those fleeing 21st-century conflicts on Europe’s doorstep, Denmark has gone into overdrive to broadcast its hostility. While Germany continues to welcome asylum seekers, and other European countries such as Sweden held their doors open for as long as they could, Denmark has taken a hard line almost from the beginning.
The government slashed refugees’ benefits, then advertised the cuts in Lebanese newspapers. It has enabled police to confiscate refugees’ valuables, including cash and jewelry. And authorities have made it far more difficult for those already here to reunite with their families, upping the wait time from one year to three.
“This country is falling apart,” said Poulsen, who is slim, blond and self-assured. “We used to have a safe, monocultural society. Now our welfare state is under huge pressure.”
The notion that Denmark can’t adequately look out for its own if it is also giving sanctuary to asylum seekers has found wide appeal here. Anti-refugee positions once considered extreme are now embraced by a broad cross section of the country’s politicians.
Denmark, a social welfare utopia, takes a nasty turn on refugees – WaPo
Society’s engine does not run on unicorn farts. Socialism only works until it runs out of somebody else’s money.
“We used to have a safe, monocultural society.”
This is a key factor in many of the “paradise” societies lefties gush about in regards to violence or (the lack of) social ills. They are either ignorant or outright lie about this when talking about various European or Asian countries.
Ayn Rand was right.
Looks like they’ve chosen between welfare state and open borders.
(Can’t have both)
Ah, yes — that is a significant distinction.
I don’t feel an obligation to care for the rest of the world’s problems – we’ve got our own problems.
Refugees?
Bullshit. About 80% are not refugees.
And just a reminder: If you travel 7.000km, 6.900km through peaceful countrys, 2.000km through the EU and into the countrys with the highest welfare… you are not exactly fleeing from harm.
