The Home Secretary is set to announce a major shake-up of the immigration and asylum system later this month, the BBC has learned.
Shabana Mahmood will model some of her new measures on the Danish system - seen as one of the toughest in Europe.
It is understood officials have been looking at Denmark's tighter rules on family reunion and restricting most refugees to a temporary stay in the country.
Mahmood wants to reduce incentives that draw people to the UK, while making it easier to expel those with no right to be in the country.
But some in her party are against going down the Danish route, with one left-wing Labour MP saying it was too "hardcore" and contained echoes of the far right.
It comes as a further 1,269 migrants crossed the English Channel in small boats on Thursday and Friday, the latest Home Office figures show. This follows two weeks of bad weather when there were no crossings.
At the Labour conference in September, Mahmood promised to "do whatever it takes" to regain control of Britain's borders.
She is impressed that Denmark has driven down the number of successful asylum claims to a 40-year low - with the exception of 2020, amid pandemic travel restrictions.
The BBC has been told that she dispatched senior Home Office officials to Copenhagen last month to study what lessons could be applied to the UK.
In Denmark, refugees who have been personally targeted by a foreign regime are likely to be given protection.
But most people who have been successfully granted asylum when fleeing conflicts are now only allowed to remain in the country on a temporary basis.
When the Danish government decrees their home country is safe, they can be returned.

Too little too late?
My grandpa immigrated, legally, here from Denmark in 1899. Unlike many nations, that does not qualify me for any kind of preference should I wish (no, I don’t) to reside in Denmark. Denmark would expect me to be able to support myself, bring some skill needed in Denmark and actually learn Danish to a point where I’m fluent. (For those who don’t know, Danish is not the easiest language to master.)
The Danes, for some strange reason, want to keep Denmark Danish and have put the brakes on immigration/refugees importing and imposing an alien culture on their nation. This is in marked contrast to the U.K. or even the U.S. where the ‘Maryland Father of the Year’ can’t speak English.
Ah, the BBC. “Shake-up” the immigration system?
STOP THE FUC#ING BOATS YOU EVIL TRAITORS!! That’s the “shake-up” needed you morons. Ship out the raping terrorists.
Pretending to care.
I like your pastries and enjoy watching and listening to Victor Borge. Is that close enough?
