Have a fucking heart. Imprisoning people for trying to survive is no good.


From TFA:

> The Lindholm Island project, which is intended to house 100 or so rejected asylum seekers who have been convicted of crimes and served their sentences but cannot be deported for various reasons, is explicitly designed to create a less welcoming atmosphere than the facility that currently holds those with a similar “tolerated stay” status.

Emphasis:

> 100 or so rejected asylum seekers who have been convicted of crimes and served their sentences but cannot be deported for various reasons

Going to European States because they have social welfare systems and then committing crimes knowing the punishments are most likely not as severe as in their home countries is unacceptable and should lead to them being automatically thrown out of the country. Unfortunately their home countries in most cases don't want to accept them back or the migrants have "lost" their passports/documentation before coming to the EU thus there's no country to deport convicted criminals back to.

For the record, I as a Western/Central European have nothing against immigrants, as long as they come here to work/study/lead law-abiding lives like it's been done for decades. However coming here for no other reason than to be an eternal drag on the social benefit system and then on top of that committing crimes?

IMHO that minority (from TFA ~100 out of thousands for Denmark) of immigrants is not and should not be welcome in any country.


If those are just criminals I take my words back. I assumed it was something like what Australia does.


I mean, I'm not from or in Denmark but that's how the article is worded, so I would assume it's like that.
