Denmark to require asylum seekers to work 37 hours a week to get welfare | Eastern NC Now

Denmark's government has rolled out a plan to require asylum seekers (illegal alien migrants) to work 37 hours a week in either public service jobs or regular jobs in order to access welfare benefits.  "There are still too many people. especially with non-western backgrounds, who do not have a job to get up to", a government official told the media.

What is amazing is that it is not the center-right "blue block" currently in power.   This plan  is put forward by the Social Democrats, the leading party in the center-left "red block". which currently has a one seat majority in parliament.  Denmark's influential anti-immigration Danish Peoples Party sits on the opposition benches with the other blue block parties.

Under international treaties, any migrant who qualifies for asylum has an automatic right to all welfare programs, and this applies in the United States as well.  In most European countries, this is also extended to "asylum seekers". illegal alien migrants who apply for asylum and often take years for a final decision to be reached.  Denmark now intends to put them to work to get their welfare.

Denmark has long had some of the toughest immigration policies in western Europe. In the 2015 migrant invasion, Denmark closed its land border with Germany to keep the migrants out.  They also made a substantial cut in the amount of welfare given to asylum seekers and extensively advertised that fact in areas where Muslim migrants were congregated on Europe's borders, adding that Denmark did not want them..
