If you marry someone not from the EU they will gain access to all social welfare.
True. I am from another welfare state dealing with the same problems and discussions (The Netherlands). But it needs to be said that the system was grossly misused by native Dutch as well. Laws have been tightened since the beginning of this century, but some groups continue to be resourceful in exploiting the system.
Also interesting is that the anti-immigrant party is most popular in a low-immigrant, economically weak region (Limburg). It's highly paradoxical that people in regions that rely a lot on social welfare accuse others of bankrupting the state (immigrants, The European Union, and state officials are popular targets).
- ThomPete 16y agoSame thing here. People in Copenhagen areas where most immigrants live are pretty liberal when it comes to immigration. Where as Jutland and other places are more conservative. But then again they are the ones fighting with unemployment and declining population so someone need to get the blame I guess.
