Denmark’s former immigration minister has warned non-Western, Islamic migrants are ‘destabilizing’ the country via crime, cultural transformation, welfare abuse, and myriad other issues.
Inger Støjberg, who was known for a taking relatively hardline approach while serving as Minister for Immigration, Integration, and Housing from 2015 to 2019, asserted that many migrants from outside Europe are refusing to assimilate while reaping the benefits of Danish society.
“One might as well be honest and put it bluntly: the non-Western – and thus primarily Muslim – immigration has harmed Denmark far more than it has benefited it,” Støjberg wrote in a scathing op-ed for Danish publication BT.
“People who exploit our generous welfare society, who refuse to embrace Denmark and our way of life, and who directly destabilize the country.”
Støjberg asserted that not only are immigration and asylum levels too high, but too little is expected of foreigners in exchange for the comparatively prosperous lifestyle made available to them.
