How a small nation’s pragmatic, humane approach exposes the lie behind America’s manufactured “crisis” and offers a roadmap for defeating the racist strongmen weaponizing immigration for power…
The most gruesome feature of the Trump/Vance/Miller regime is their glee in brutalizing nonwhite people and terrorizing anybody who objects or tries to hold them to account. Their entire rationale is that the barbarity and savagery are “necessary” to deal with millions of “illegals.”
Denmark is onto something that could blow up their entire excuse for this violence against both people and our Constitution, and Democrats need to pay attention.
Back in June 2008 I did my radio program for a week from the studios of Danish Radio in Copenhagen.
Razor wire in the sunrise, shadows waitin’ at the gate,
Families walk from fire only to meet another state.
Little hands on chain-link fences, tired eyes that plead for grace,
A journey made for freedom ends in fear they shouldn’t face.
’Cause the cruelty ain’t a bug—it’s the whole damn plan,
Turning hope into a weapon in the heart of this land.
But we can guard our borders without losing dignity;
We can choose the road of mercy over cold strategy.

The weaponization of immigration is something that has been a concern of mine for quite some time, and not just by the "racist strongmen" alluded to in this article. It's the age old classic magicians sleight-of-hand trick. Politicians and the powers-that-be adopt this technique of having you focus on one hand so you don't pay attention to what they are doing with the other. Immigration is currently one such particular topic of focus that has people's attention to that hand, but what is the other hand doing?
ReplyDeleteComparing Danish policy to that of Trump is all good and well, but the question in this article's title I feel is framed to a certain extent. One could ask, did Denmark find a "better" answer to immigration than Trump? One could also ask, did Denmark find the "right" answer to immigration?
The Danish model has recently come up more and more frequently. I haven't done a deep dive into Denmark's immigration policy yet, but looking at my notes, I see I have circled "Vulnerable Residential Areas" as something of concern that requires closer attention. Until a more thorough analysis is complete, I wouldn't be quite so quick to hold up Danish immigration policy as "the answer".
