Most parties with few exceptions share 90% of Dansk Folkepartis immigration policy. Even under the previous center-left government most shared this view. They disagree on some very important areas but all the stuff you read about in the newspapers (much of it planted by danish politicians not in agreement) there is political consensus about.<p>But go back 20 years in Denmark or just a couple of years in Sweden and you will see a different pictures. They were the parias of society.<p>Despite the huge success Sveriges Demokraterne had at last election the other parties decided to completely ignore them and to keep them out of power.<p>Swedish police has not been allowed to put ethnicity into reports even when it was relevant.<p>Sweden (and Germany) invited immigrants and fugitives to just come. Now Sweden sobered by reality closed it&#x27;s borders to Denmark because they can&#x27;t have anymore.<p>I am not a big proponent of DF and personally I am an &quot;open borders, but no money&quot; kind of person. This is one of the things I believe works really well here in the US.<p>But they were wrong about it becoming an issue. Especially since Denmark have so lucrative social benefits as they do (which the fugitives and immigrants go after and I don&#x27;t blame them)<p>But this is a much more complicated discussion than just right wing racist parties vs. the good people on the left.<p>The discussion in Europe right now really is about how the EU makes sure that it balances it&#x27;s international obligations with it&#x27;s obligations over it&#x27;s citizens.
