Denmark enacts strict immigration policies to limit asylum

Denmark is tightening its immigration policies, aligning with a stance similar to that of US Vice President JD Vance. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, a centre-left leader, described mass migration as a "threat to daily life" in Europe. Frederiksen's comments echo views held by figures like Donald Trump. She claims that migration contributes to crime and job insecurity, negatively affecting local communities. Her remarks were made shortly after Vance spoke at the Munich Security Conference, where he expressed concerns about immigration being a larger threat than Russia. Vance pointed out that voters across Europe are increasingly choosing leaders who promise to control immigration. He highlighted that in the UK, many people supported Brexit to end unregulated migration. Denmark has now adopted some of the strictest immigration measures in Europe under Frederiksen's leadership.
