Denmark was the first country to sign the UN Refugee Convention in 1951, but it has now become the first European nation to tell Syrian refugees that they must return home. (Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)

The Scandinavian country has declared Damascus and its surrounding areas safe, stripping nearly 100 Syrian refugees of their residencies and putting hundreds more in danger of being sent back.

Syrian women appear to be being particularly targeted, with many fearing for their lives if forced to return.

    As a high-income immigrant (who pays a ridiculous amount of tax) myself I just want to say, if one doesn't learn the language of the host country (for decades?!) and doesn't contribute to the society, instead only consuming the welfare, hell yeah they don't deserve to be kept.

    Denmark, you have every right to protect your country, culture and traditions.
  • Why 30K !? Homeless people in Europe don't get 30K. Why should Europe pay for all the problems of the islamic world. This is insane.
  • @souban2008
    Denmark is doing absolutely right. No country can take endless burden of an another countries.
  • She doesn't understand that being a guest doesn't mean you become a permanent resident.

    If she is not afraid for her son in Syria then she has nothing to fear if she goes back.
  • Hats off for Denmark! I'm French and I can here testify that sweet and beautiful France is being torn apart to the core by the massive amount of immigrants and refugees we have kindheartedly welcomed for several decades. We pay a 100% for all refugees, and participate for more than 60% for simple economic immigrants. All we hear from them is that we are utter racists, and that they are free not to integrate or make any effort, and also that we are collectively responsible for not making more! The reason probably is that we self hate ourselves and wish for our country to disappear, which is hopefully not the case for the Danes and Swedes, whom have all my support. All our values and social progress are being inverted, and this makes my heart so unhappy.

    Well done Denmark! You have been very kind and emphathetic, and now it is time for refugees to go to their home and rebuild their lives around their people.
  • That's the whole point of the asylum system. You can stay until it's safe for you to return.

    Poland did the best to not take any refugees in 2015 🙏🙏

    Strange how Muslims don’t like it in their Islamic countries.
  • @davidmartin7931
    There are some 50 Muslim countries where nearly 2 billion people live to welcome Muslim refugees. It is not for a very small country with a Christian tradition like Denmark to do this.

  • @squalie9
    They're paying people 30k to go back to their country? That's absurd.
  • @timothytim1053
    Denmark shows the way. Every country in Europe should do the same. Especially Sweden.
