    which is something denmark already does and it basically has no effect, and that’s why the comission recommended against doing this.

    But when has expert opinion and prior evidence ever mattered to the neonazi party?

    Do those people know what immigrants pay and go through to even reach European soil?

        I know it’s equivalent is way more than the amount offered to go back.

        If you literally rushed your life to leave where you lived before, that sum is peanuts in comparison

            Oh well that’s not very regulated. Migrants get squeezed for every penny the have. They can pay up to 4000 dollars (in their local currency and earning level) but they have to dodge corrupt offcials, prostitution, extortion and ofc live threatening conditions.

            34.000 is a lot of money in comparison, but if you go through what they went through you probably don’t want to get back.

              So they’re well compensated, so what’s the problem you mean? They aren’t forced to accept it…

      This money is used to push people towards the choice of leaving friends and a (semi-)stable environment to go back to a country that is likely war-torn or famine-ridden.

        So, who’s supposed to rebuild those countries? The poorest left behind?

          Right, the well-endowed deportees will, against all odds, rebuild entire countries rather than just being thrown under the bus again because of scarcely veiled racism. That makes those deportations practically charity. /s
