The Progress Party wants to tighten Norway's immigration policy. They are inspired by solutions that function effectively in Denmark. Solutions are being considered that are primarily aimed at reducing the number of refugees arriving in the territory of the Kingdom. This will allow the release of resources that will make aid granted outside its borders more effective.

How does it look in Denmark?
Over the years, Denmark's rhetoric on accepting refugees has changed dramatically. The prime minister himself, Lars Rokke Rasmusen, admits that some of the immigrants from the Middle East have no intention of becoming part of Danish society. This approach is perfectly visible in system solutions. This applies, inter alia, to the right of the Danish police to take away asylum seekers items valued at more than $ 10 Danish kroner (excluding items with sentimental value). Such action is intended to cover part of the costs related to providing them with food and shelter. It is also a condition for receiving social assistance.
Development Party Proposals
According to Jon Helgheim, spokesman for Frp's immigration policy, analyzes of Danish solutions are ongoing. Proposals being considered include: introducing a compulsory language test for four-year-olds and cutting it benefits paid by NAV for those immigrants who have not learned Norwegian, for which they have 5 years. Issues related to settling in the so-called "sensitive zones", i.e. those that are at risk of creating ghettos. The aim of the actions taken is to reduce the number of refugees arriving in Norway. The funds saved in this way would be used to provide aid abroad.
Refugees have a problem with assimilation
The problem with the assimilation of immigrants from the Middle East is raised more and more often. The Danish prime minister points out that refugees do not want to integrate into European society. Additionally, they do not respect European values. Moreover, this problem often affects second and third generation immigrants. The problem with assimilation is most often raised among critics of accepting large groups of refugees in the European Union countries.
Changes concerning Poles are also being considered
It is worth recalling that others are also being considered changes in Norway's migration policy. Some time ago we wrote that the Norwegian government asked Brussels about the possibility changes in the payment of social benefits for children who are outside the Kingdom. Such efforts have been carried out since 2013, but so far all these proposals have met with resistance from EEA countries, especially those located in Central Europe.
