They talk so much these days regarding refugees / immigrants and how they
are treated on arrival and further developments.
What surprises me
most is the politicians, who come with criticism of domestic austerity of the refugee law, be it the number of refugees,
border control and the so-called "necklace law".
The general Danish
citizen has an opinion, so his case, they may not know how cash-help from
the social welfare works against Danish nationals, so they talk with the
heart and not of knowledge or with the head.
When a Danish
national comes on cash-help from the social welfare, he or she also have to sell everything they
have of values before they get anything from the municipality. Be it jewelry,
fur, holiday-home, car, boat, designer clothing / shoes / furniture is to be
sold to buy something cheaper. When all these conditions are met, you can get
cash.
Now that you
have cash, you cannot spend neither the money nor time as you like. You cannot
use the money to go to a restaurant, meals for guests or buy gifts to family
and friends (either birthday or Christmas) nor having family or friends for an
overnight stay or on holiday which requires feeding, (then they must pay
separately), you cannot go on vacation or travel abroad (not even if it's to
visit family. One must in case seek permission) Do not use taxi.
Have you told the
authority that you are single / single parent, you risk getting a surprise
visit from a "blanket lifter" that will check that conditions really
are as told and the number of children is correct according to applicant.
These facts should the
politicians know about before they
attack each other.
It is clear that we
all want to help, but according to aid abilities and means. When we at the same
time are complaining about domestic
austerity at the health-care sectors of society, we must begin to see the
totality of what is happening and put things in perspective.
1) When someone come as a refugee to Denmark, it should
be expected that they respect the
law and rules of the country. When they start at the border and put demands on
where to live, what country they want to go to, decline to register, create
riots and demonstrations and already here begin doing crimes. . . Even then,
they should be sent back where they came from.
2) When they speak
to TV and newspapers about how paltry their conditions are and complain that
they have to stay in tents. I have to say. . . I agree with Inger Støjberg. . . "If the
same type of tent is used for to house our soldiers when they are at war, then
these kind of tents also are good enough for the refugees until one knows
whether they will stay in the country at all.
3) When they also
claim to know their rights and are entitled to both money, housing, clothing
and food, without even needed to perform . . . Then I have to ask; What rights did they have where they came from
???
Hello. . . They are not entitled to
anything. They have not helped to provide for welfare in our country. We do the
best we can . . . and if that is not good enough, then no one are stopping them
from going back where they came from.
4) When they now criticize
that they need to deliver all valuables, then it's just according to ordinary
Danish law in Denmark, you must follow to get cash.
5) One call up on how
terribly it is that they cannot get their family reunion
before
after 3 years. . . . I will here point out this fact that they must ha assessed this before
they left home and talked to the family about this problem. They cannot have
taken this journey completely "blue-eyed".
Moreover,
there are many others (Danish)people who also see their children rarely. Ex.
Divorce leads many times to one party does not see his children as often as
desired. Sailors see his kids many times only once in the year. Many diseases
requires that you refrain from your children, forced withdrawal of children
from parents where you risk getting only 1 hour each 14.dag with the child
under supervision, so you cannot even take them to Zoo or do anything else that
is quality time, correctional-stay (if you are in jail) requires that you might
not get to see your children for years. . . . (Only to name some conditions)
We cannot begin to
romanticize the refugees. They have
made a choice, and they must stand
by it. It should not be the case that it is we
who must take all the problems for them.
And when they were
granted residence permits, it is they
who must abide our law and
rules. . . It is not we who must
change by their laws and rules, religion and culture. They are not entitled to
the river of money to build mosque, temple or synagogue, even if we have
freedom of religion, so anyone can practice his religion in silence. They
should, like all other "Christian" groups, get the money they need
from the members of the religion and build or rent housing for the purpose.
I have never heard
per example that The Jehovas Witnesses receive State funding to build “house of
devotion” and subsidizes to ongoing renovations, or the 7-days Saints
(The Mormons), the Pentecostal Brethren, Adventists, Asa-believer, atheist
community or any other religious group, as is customary here, has been given any
State support / subsidizes to follow their religion. (It's possible I'm wrong)
If these people want
to be in Denmark, they must also accept that they are treated as usual Dane at
the various offices. They should not be given specialized treatment. . . It
leads to racial discrimination.
The artist Ai Weiwei
draws its exhibition back, he about that.
. . He knows nothing about Danish
legislation and regulations, and he is the last who should try to set up rules for how and what Denmark
should do.
When it comes to all
the criticism from other countries, then I ask simply: "What makes these
countries better for the refugees coming to their country?"
Has China received
any refugees? Will China, the US and other countries allow refugees who had
come to them, free schooling for children, free medical care, help with the housing and get money for furniture and
food without refugees themselves give something back? Free education to get
work, free language course to learn the country's language? Soft transition to
new work and providing them with state funds to build mosques, temples or
synagogues so they can enjoy their individual religions and to start businesses
to sell their special food? I just ask ???
Not to talk about
Kofi Annan. . . Why does he interfere?? Does he know Danish legislation and
regulations? How do immigrants to the African continent get if anyone comes to
the Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Ghana, Tanzania, Kenya or South Africa ???
Or is his criticism
to ensure that refugees from these countries can demand anything they want, when
they come as refugees to Europe, because your own country is hell ??
No, Kofi Annan. . .
Clean up your own ranks before you criticize Denmark.
They, who criticize
Denmark, should be ashamed. Denmark is a small country, and in relation to its
size and population, the country and the individual citizen give A LOT! !
We have nothing to be
ashamed of. . . We give what we have physically, mentally and financially, both
individually as citizens and stately.
Politicians grant as
much as they think is reasonable in relation to what each Danish citizen
receives, and as much they believe they can defend against its own citizens.
I am not against helping
the refugees, but we must not let other countries decide what to do and how much
we should give financially.
Each country should
put its own house in order before they start criticizing Denmark.
Now it turns out as
well that Sweden also is going to reject many of the refugees and send them
back to where they came from. It will be interesting to see how much criticism
they get for that act and from which country.
There is also a limit
to how much you have available when it comes to help.
And what about Greece???
They pierced the rubber boats with refugees and was the cause of many drowned.
. . That is how interested they were in to help.
Moreover, dear Danish
citizen. . . I can ask. . . How many in your circle is an immigrant? It is like
this, when they have obtained a
residence permit and a place to stay, then they must also be integrated, which
means that they must infiltrated and mingle with the Danish population and have
Danish friends and acquaintances. Children must also circumvent the children of
immigrants and have friends among them.
How big is this
opportunity when they get clustered together in ghettos, as the immigrants
themselves say is a dangerous place to live or move into if one is a Dane?
I saw a program on TV
about immigrants, where the program director and cameraman were to visit a
ghetto. When they entered the area, the immigrant told the cameraman;
"Here, do not shoot, because then we have problems." What kind of
message is this to give a Dane?? We live in a free country and it is not an
immigrant who will decide where we can be and what we are allowed to do in our
own country.
There are both
positive and negative sides by receiving immigrants, and unfortunately it is
always like, that it is the difficult ones and criminals who destroy the
opportunities for the rest. It is like
this in all situations, at all levels.
We must also be
careful that we do not end up as hypocrites, just to give a great picture of
the country outward to the world, while we were not actually so excited about
these new arrivals.
Can I ask, how many
times have you invited an immigrant
to a birthday party, celebration or a new year's party?
Why is a residential
area, less valued and fell in price if immigrants live in the area?
Why do we criticize
their way of dressing, head dress, use of the burqa and nigab?
Is it only we who live in a free country and
can dress like we want or go naked for that matter, while immigrants' demands
to go dressed like us, and use bikini at the beach? Why is a Muslim swimsuit
that looks like a diving suit with hood and long legs, not accepted at the public baths?
Why are they called
"perkere", "pakkis", "negro buns" and
"monkeys". . . Even by the police. . . (although they deny it, the rest of us know its true.)?
Why is it that we
think it is an immigrant who is the culprit, every time it happens something,
or often is the first we assume in every case?
Is it because we
think it's good and it's just our manner and way to welcome them?
BE HONEST TO YOUSELF
NOW. . You can lie to anybody to give the impression that you are not one of
them that have anything against immigrants. . . But think carefully and
"see" deep inside yourself to find the truth now.
If we want to welcome
them into our country, we must also treat them with respect and welcome them
into our lives. Do we really ?? I just ask.
