Denmark Offers 100,000 Kroner to Illegal Immigrants

[MikeLigalig.com]

Denmark has agreed to increase tenfold the amount of money offered to immigrants who return home permanently to 100,000 kroner (13,443 euros, 20,172 dollars), officials said Monday.

The centre-right minority government reached an agreement with its key ally, the far-right Danish People's Party (DPP), on the issue late Sunday as part of their 2010 budget negotiations.

A financial incentive of 11,000 kroner had until now been offered to immigrants to resettle in their country of origin.

The scheme is aimed at immigrants from outside the European Union and Nordic countries, DPP deputy leader Peter Skaarup told AFP.

"It in practice targets those nationals from non-Western countries who are struggling to adapt to Danish society and who would be tempted by a fairly significant sum to go back home forever," he said.

Skaarup said those taking up the offer would receive 11,000 kroner up front. The remainder of the 100,000 kroner would be paid out once they surrender their Danish residency permits, he added.

The agreement also calls for 20 million kroner in aid to city councils in charge of integrating immigrants, to help them "motivate" foreigners to return home.

According to the refugee, immigrant and integration ministry, some 2,524 people have voluntarily left Denmark since 1997 when the repatriation program was introduced. Most of them were from the former Yugoslavia, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Somalia and Turkey.

Immigrants represent 7.3 percent of Denmark's population of 5.5 million, including 4.5 percent from non-Western countries. - AFP

Denmark needs immigrants because they are underpopulated, this is racism!

Sakto ba ang title nga "illegal" immigrants lang ang gi-offeran ani? The text itself seems to refer to "immigrants" in general, and non-Western immigrants in particular, being entitled to this offer.

Last year, Japan made a similar offer to legal Brazilian immigrants, mostly Japanese descendants and a good number permanent residents. Those who take up the offer of about US $3,000 also bind themselves to the condition of not ever coming back to Japan. It caused some uproar in the media.

As foreigners, especially those who have no blood or family relations to our host society, we always live at their  pleasure and by their graces. It must have been worse on Japanese descendants, whose residency entitlement is due to their Japanese blood. But this is how the global crisis still continues to take its toll.

Kugihan ang mga Pinoys. Sa Italy kapila sila naghatag ug amnesty kay ang mga Pinoy maayo nga care-givers ug nanny. Daghang Pinoy nga gi-adopt sa pamilya nga ilang gipoy-an. Sa Milano dako ang Pinoy presence, 15 years from now 20% of the population is of Filipino heritage.
Sa Paris ang mga Pinays sulod gawas, kay ang ilang employer mga dagko nga politiko sa France, as nanny and care-giver, our english proficiency and catholic faith is a big edge compared to other Arabic immigrants.

Sir Ben, dili man daw illegal immigrants ang a offeran ani.
Kani kuno nga offer para sa mga refugees nga dili mo adapt sa danish culture.
Ang diri mangud, once nga mopuyo diri, kinhanglan nga mo adapt sa ila culture, learn their language and history, ug kinahanglan nga mo integrate.
