Britain adopts stricter asylum policy inspired by Denmark
Britain is adopting a stricter asylum policy modeled after Denmark's, aiming to minimize refugee intake and extend permanent residency waiting times to 20 years. The Home Office sent officials to Copenhagen to study Denmark's approach, which includes continuous evaluation of refugee status and the potential for deportation if their home country is deemed safe. Authorities may also seize assets to cover asylum processing and housing costs. This significant reform, the largest migration overhaul since World War II, seeks to reduce the appeal of seeking refuge in the UK amidst rising asylum applications and public discontent.
