I approve her citizenship application.
My liberal brother posted something on social media (my wife had to tell me) about how Norway has a large population of Somali, and that Trump is a shithole president.
I did a search, and the PM of Norway (or some high ranking gal in immigration) said that Norway is not for the open borders like Sweden, and only let in something like 2,000 immigrants last year! (Sweden was at 30,000) She said they have to be able to read and write Norwegian. And you can’t beat your children in Norway.
“We are a libertarian party. We want less government, so people should decide more over their own life. And we want a stricter immigration policy because thats important for Norway in the long run.”
Heh. I might just have to get on Facebook! Although it really isn’t worth it to me to bang heads with my liberal relatives.
More from that article. Ms. Listhaug is in charge of immigration. Maybe when she is done there, Trump can hire her?
Excerpt:
The Norwegian model, she says, is very different and very clear. If you are an economic migrant, you are declined in Norway, she says. We send people back to Afghanistan if they are not in need of protection; we send them back to Somalia if they are not in need of protection. Isnt this a rather expensive process? Yes, but its well worth it. Police are also sent out to areas where illegal immigrants are suspected of living and working. If we find them, we send them out. That has also decreased crime in Norway, thats very good.
I ask Listhaug if she is getting used to being called cruel and heartless. How does it make her feel? Her response comes quickly: I dont give a damn, she says. She thinks her approach is right, and the consensus is wrong. And, as she says, an increasing number of other countries think the same. A new consensus might well be in the making.
