How does a country alleviate poverty and segregation? Denmark is attempting to improve societal integration of “non-Western” citizens. We look at how that’s working.
Hans Christian Andersen was born in Odense, the third-largest city in Denmark, and a museum complex dedicated to him sits near the city center.
Across town to the northeast lies the country’s largest ghetto – an official term used to designate disadvantaged areas with a majority of “non-Western” residents.
And today, in a turn that could come from one of Mr. Andersen’s fairy tales, the residents of the neighborhood of Vollsmose face the prospect of having their public housing demolished and being sent to live elsewhere – all in the name of a 2018 law that aims to take apart “parallel societies.”
The Danish welfare system is one of the most generous in the world, built upon high taxes and a duty-bound concept. It doesn’t work when a society has low “social cohesion,” say economists. On the surface, the ghetto laws purport to better help integrate non-Western foreigners into Denmark’s social fabric. Yet, by targeting neighborhoods in part by the background of their residents, the government might be penalizing the very people it purports to help.
“The research has shown that it’s hard to promote integration into Danish society,” says Rasmus Landersø, an economist and director of research at the Rockwool Foundation Research Unit in Denmark. The new policy “is about reversing the trends of newly arrived immigrants being allocated over decades into certain areas with social housing, with a minority population coming into a majority cultural background. These trends have been created over decades and these are very fundamentally difficult problems to solve.”
To be labeled a ghetto under the 11-year-old Danish law, an...

Allahu Akbar!
We did this in Nashville. It created new ghettos, in the areas that people were moved TO.
It will not help anything or anyone other than the invaders. Maybe Denmark is for the Danes.
I give Denmark credit in that they recognize they have an immigrant (read, Muslim) problem, and they are trying to do something about it.
Sorry, but it probably won’t work. Study after study has shown that children of Muslim immigrants are - in general - even more radical than their parents. So wherever you put those guys, they’ll still go to mosques and they’ll still listen to radical messages on the Internet.
If they evict them to North Africa, the integration would work
Yup. in the early 70's they put a section-8 housing complex smack in the middle of my neat, middle class, well-kept, small rural home town.
Today I drive out of my way to avoid it...it's a Black waste-land.
It will help get more women raped more efficiently
Deporting the foreigners would make a heck of lot more sense.
Why is it always Somalis? Globalists and leftist love to spread them around western societies everywhere.
Seeding their soldiers into enemy territory
Imagine the response from the "international community" if Israel did this.
Most of their non-Western residents are beholden to Allah (Satan).
Yes, there have been several low-income housing apartments built in our quiet suburb. Guess it gives the sheriff’s department something to do other than deal with traffic accidents.

Even more free s*** than we give our parasites? That’s hard to believe. Our overlords better hurry and catch up to Denmark. Can’t have our illegal Mexican and South American guests left out on any goodies.

It cannot do otherwise. You know the old saying:

Well, we have to excuse that, “it’s part of their culture”.

They are as black as black gets and to the left, they blacker, the better.
(as long as they are not in the left’s neighborhood. Light brown, upper class is their preference and only as an occasional token.
