Det hedder det sig ganske vist ikke officielt, men intentionen er svær at tage fejl af. Som DR skriver, vil Søren Pind nu
gennem positiv særbehandling gøre det lettere for borgere fra bestemte lande at blive familiesammenført til Danmark.
– Det er et kolossalt problem, at udlændingelovgivningen er så fyldt med lighedsmageri, at vi skader folk, som gerne vil og kan Danmark, i helt unødig grad. Reglerne har været pakket ind i juristeri og misforstået lighedsmageri, siger Søren Pind.
Han vil i første omgang fritage borgere fra lande som USA, Canada, Australien, New Zealand og Japan for at tage den såkaldte indvandringsprøve, man skal have for at blive familiesammenført.
Med andre ord: Indvandrere fra “hvide” lande kommer forrest i køen, med Japan som den eneste undtagelse.
En bekendt, en ingeniør, der i sit arbejde hvert år tjener millioner hjem til sit danske firma og til gengæld lægger flere hundrede tusinde kroner i skat, har denne kommentar til Pinds nye regler:
I’m sick and tired of racism here and everywhere else. Apparently I keep being hounded just because my skin is not white!
Probably this is the straw that breaks camel’s back. Seriously I need to leave this country ASAP. Screw Denmark. I want to see this country closed and shut down and crumble to pieces. Sorry Danes, but my rage is uncontrollable after I read this article.
Jeg tror ærligt talt heller ikke, at Pinds nye “white Western only”-politik vil give folk fra Australien, USA og Canada spor mere lyst til at tage til et land, hvor hele det politiske liv er taget som gidsel af en højrepopulistisk bevægelse og deres aflægger i Folketinget. Snarere tværtimod.
Unfortunately this attitude is all too common among danes, more than once I’ve been caught up in a conversation about the problems immigrants bring to Denmark, and upon mentioning “Yea but I´m an immigrant too” have been met with the response “That´s different because you´re white”
And this from young, educated, and urban danes. I´ve since moved on from Denmark.
Oh, so first we all have to be the same as each other and “assimilate” and then it turns out that certain people do not need to. Does he really think there is more difference between a Dane and a Afghan than between an American and a Japanese person??
Exactly. Come to think of it, I think the Japanese were only and specifically included to avoid the accusation of racism. Very few Japanese people come to live in Denmark anyway.
Funny, just now I’ve seen you drew exactly the same conclusion on your own blog: http://adventuresandjapes.wordpress.com/2011/05/16/danish-politics/
