You think US Immigration Law is tough?

[Cold_Zero]

Marriage with a foreign partner aged under 24 is not recognised, and a points system has now been established for immigrants wishing to obtain a residence permit. Immigrants must provide evidence to show that they have "actively participated in Danish society" for at least one year. And Danes with foreign spouses are obliged to prove that as a couple they have a combined attachment to Denmark which is greater than their "combined attachment to any other country."

It was on this basis that tax inspector Bolette Kornum was denied permission to move back to Copenhagen with her Egyptian husband: the immigration service ruled that they had a greater attachment to Egypt. Bolette speaks Arabic, her husband had no family in Denmark, and they had lived together for several years in his native country. Go and live in Egypt was the official response.

Thought this was an interesting article. The Danes dont mess around and they will boot your a** out of the country if you dont belong or make trouble.

My friend just flew to Denmark with her boyfriend (Danish) and when he was here we had some interesting conversation about the US's Immigration Issues. Not just with this issue but with other's Denmark, for a socialist society has a lot of good ideas on certain things.

A lot of time we hear that the solution to a problem involves taking things on a case-by-case basis. Here, the dangers involved in that become a little bit more apparent. What happens if the guy judging your case has a particular grudge against you for reasons unrelated to your case's review?

I worry about the ease of abuse in a system like those illustrated by that quote.

The quote was merly to show how tough Scandinavian immigration law is compared to US law. Sweden and Denmark have some of the toughest immigration laws in Europe, with France and Germany being very lax. They literally dont mess around. While the Netherlands approach (which I think is ingenious) is to give immigrants a test. They show them pictures of topless women on a beach and men holding hands in public (among other things). Immigrants are told, if this offends you, this may not be the country for you. It should be pointed out that central Europe is overrun by Turks and Middle Easterners that cause problem. Denmark has very little issues with immigrants.

I never understood the uproar about credit cards to noncitizens. As if credit cards couldn't operate in other countries.

[AZhitman]

Me neither.

I actually like Australia's immigration laws. Check 'em out. Might do us some good, if we could get them past the limp-wristed appeasers on the extreme left.
