Also, one of the highest taxes.

  So what? Their model obviously works well.

What are some examples of sensible immigration policies? How does the US compare / contrast?

  US has highest immigration #s of any country. Canada is close in some respects.

    The USA has the highest total number of immigrants but many other countries are higher on a percentage basis. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/immigration-by-country https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/immigrati...

    Can you elaborate on your comment? What makes Canada's immigration policy sensible in your mind?

      I find that comment confusing because dissatisfaction with our immigration policy was a huge part of our recent election. It almost brought down the Liberal government.

    I'm guessing the type of immigration each country receives is very different. e.g. some examples from this list (% immigrant population): - Qatar (76%) - Australia (30%) - Canada (23%) - Belgium (20%) - USA (15.2%) - Denmark (14.2%) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_by_immigrant_and_emigrant_population https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_by_im...

Denmark’s immigration policies are not nearly as tough as their reputation nor to credit them as the source of economic prosperity. Denmark’s economic prosperity comes from investment in free higher education for all, generally healthy lifestyles and the flexicurity-model, which provides a flexible labour market and promotes risk-taking.

  Which western countries have "stricter" immigration policies? Even the US now doesn't treat refugees like Denmark did a few years ago (mass, wholesale expulsion to a country that was still at war, with very little exceptions). I get the reasoning behind it but the Danes are not the most welcoming of peoples, with regards to immigration.
