I sat and watched a piece this morning over commercial news concerning Denmark. The Danes have sat down and looked at the immigration flow into the country and reached a particular and unusual view. They don't want long-term problems as a end-result.
Naturally, they avoid using the word 'ghetto'.
The wording of their legal effort? They are drafting up a law that says that no community or city or neighborhood can have more than 30-percent non-Dane.
How this would work in terms of use? No one really says.
You'd have to have a particular type database existing.....which details a person's ethnical background. If you were a second generation Russian-Dane? I'm not sure if you'd be counted as a immigrant still, or as a authentic Dane.
You'd have to draw a line around a particular suburb or neighborhood.....to have the city statistics guy label people. Once you hit 30-percent? Well....that's it....no more new migrants or immigrants allowed in that area.
Why is 30-percent the magic number? It's absolutely a number pulled out of thin air. You could have made the number 25-percent, or even 15-percent.
I pondered upon this idea...if you applied it to Germany. There are certain towns or regions where migrants or immigrants probably number less than five-percent. If you drive over to the Hunsruck (west of Mainz)....you can wander into some towns of 2,000 residents, and you might find three Turkish families.
You can also wander into neighborhood of eastern Frankfurt, and find that the demographic make-up is now around 50 to 60 percent 'new' German (meaning migrant or immigrant).
You can travel over to the 'westend' of Wiesbaden (an entire suburb) and find around fifty-percent of the occupants of the area are 'new' Germans.
One odd theme of this Danish effort....as you have a town hit 30-percent....it basically means the next town over....will become the magnet for new arrivals. And when that town hits 30-percent.....it'll be the next town over that gets the next group of arrivals.
